Key Takeaways
Chennai, April 15 (NationPress) Leader of Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK), Anbumani Ramadoss, has vehemently condemned the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) government, pointing to a significant decline in law and order following a harrowing assault on a college student in the vicinity of Chennai.
In a post shared on the social media platform X, Anbumani claimed that the incident occurred in Vallur village, close to Minjur, on the outskirts of the city.
As per his remarks, a college student preparing for her exams at home was attacked by a gang of three individuals, allegedly under the influence of drugs.
He stated that the attackers forcibly entered the student's home and attempted to sexually assault her. Upon her resistance, the group reportedly assaulted her with sharp objects, leaving her in critical condition. The victim was subsequently hospitalized with severe injuries, although official updates on her status and the incident's details are still awaited.
Condemning the attack, Anbumani criticized the DMK government for its inability to guarantee the safety of women in the state. He asserted that the rampant availability and rising consumption of narcotics, including cannabis, have led to an increase in violent crimes.
The PMK leader referred to the attack as a “disturbing illustration” of the ramifications of what he calls uncontrolled drug proliferation under the current government. He emphasized that the situation has become so dire that women are no longer safe even within their homes.
Pointing out the inadequacies in law enforcement, Anbumani denounced the authorities for their failure to apprehend the suspects at the time of his statement, deeming it “deeply disgraceful.” He reiterated his party's political position, contending that the DMK government has consistently failed to protect women and children.
He asserted that the only path to ensure safety and restore law and order in Tamil Nadu is through a change in governance, expressing confidence that voters will react strongly in the upcoming elections.
As of now, there has been no immediate official statement from the DMK or law enforcement regarding these allegations. Authorities are anticipated to investigate the incident and provide further updates.
