The DMK leader pointed out that even as the victims of the Pollachi sex scandal case is yet to get justice, another sexual assault complaint has come to light in Perambalur district.
Stalin claimed that though a complaint was lodged by an advocate P Arul with Perambalur police recently on behalf of the affected women, no concrete steps were taken to solve the case and book the culprits.
According to Stalin, the advocate in his complaint said, a group of men would befriend housewives and college girls and lure them to lodges on the pretext of job interview and sexually assault them.
“They (culprits) also started blackmailing the victims and threatened to kill them,” he said.
“I warn that no one should even dream that the both sexual assault cases in Pollachi and Perambalur could be covered up,” he said and warned that soon after May 23, there will change in government and the new regime will probe and take stringent action against the persons, who diluted the cases and trying to free the accused.
Stalin also said that though the state officially stated that the sexual assault case of the Pollachi will be handed over to CBI, the AIADMK government still has not implementing its own order to transfer it to the national investigation agency. “The ineffectiveness of handling the Pollachi case, now reflects in Perambalur also,” he added.
“Most of the women in Tamil Nadu are in a state of fear after the exposure of both sexual assault cases and it is not good for the government,” Stalin said.
