A team from the National Commission for Women (NCW) started looking into the sexual assault of a student at Anna University on Monday. There are claims that police didn’t allow protests against this incident, leading many members of the opposition party, AIADMK, to try to demonstrate across Tamil Nadu. Many of them were arrested but are expected to be released later.
The NCW is investigating this serious case after a 19-year-old student was allegedly raped on campus last week. They formed a two-member team, which includes NCW member Mamta Kumari and retired police chief Praveen Dixit. They visited the university to gather information. They plan to meet with the victim, her family, friends, school officials, and people from non-profit organizations to find out what happened and ensure it doesn’t happen again.
Actor Vijay, who leads the Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam, expressed his concern for women’s safety in a letter shared on Instagram. He said it might be useless to ask those in charge since women face many dangers every day. He sympathized with their pain and promised to support them, urging them to focus on their studies instead of worrying about safety. He promised to work together for a safer Tamil Nadu.
