Anna University case: NCW assails govt. for letting a ‘criminal’ roam varsity campus; SIT begins probe into case

NCW fact-finding committee visits Anna University campus to investigate sexual assault case, blames State government, SIT begins probe.

The two-member fact-finding committee of the National Commission for Women (NCW) on Tuesday left for New Delhi after its two-day visit to the city in connection with the sexual assault on a student on the Anna University campus.

Its members — Mamta Kumari, member of the NCW, and Praveen Dixit, former DGP of Maharashtra — arrived in the city on Monday. While leaving, Ms. Kumari and Mr. Dixit blamed the State government for allowing the accused in the case, who has criminal cases against him, to roam freely on the university campus.

The team members interacted with the university authorities, the complainant and her family members. They inspected the scene of crime. They also met Governor R.N. Ravi at the Raj Bhavan on Monday.

A group of women advocates led by K.M. Nalinishree submitted a representation to the NCW, demanding stringent action against the accused and steps to protect students on the campus. The team would be submitting its report to NCW Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar.

Meanwhile, the three-member all-woman Special Investigation Team (SIT), formed on the orders of the High Court, and comprising Deputy Commissioners of Police Bhukya Sneha Priya, Ayman Jamal and S. Brinda, began its probe into the case and the leak of the First Information Report, officials said.
