BJP State president demands explanation from Chief Minister on police handling of gang rape case in Chennai.
BJP State president K. Annamalai on Sunday demanded an explanation from Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on the way the police handled the case of a gang allegedly raping an intellectually disabled college student from Ayanavaram in Chennai.
In a social media post, he said despite the girl’s father lodging a complaint at the Ayanavaram police station, the personnel was said to have not taken any action and let off the suspects with only a warning. Only after a relative of the victim took efforts, the police filed a case and arrested two suspects. Five other suspects were still at large.
“Who gave powers to the police to just warn the suspects and let them go in a case of sexual assault. At a time when the law and order situation in Tamil Nadu is already worse, how could the police act like this, especially when a mentally challenged girl has been sexually assaulted? Why is Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, who gave lengthy statements for crimes that took place in other parts of the country even before knowing the full information, silent on this issue,” Mr. Annamalai asked.
This also raises a question as to how the Chief Minister, who is in charge of the police, is handling the portfolio. Mr. Stalin should immediately give an explanation on the issue, Mr. Annamalai added.
