Pollachi Sex Abuse Case: AIADMK Removes Accused Functionary From Party

Hours after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested AIADMK functionary K Arulanandham in the Pollachi sex abuse case on Wednesday morning, the party released a statement, ousting the 34-year-old.

Arulanandham was the Pollachi Students Wing Secretary and was arrested with two other accused — T Herine Paul (29) and P Babu (27).

They were produced in Coimbatore Medical College and Hospital for a medical examination and were being taken for remand in Coimbatore.

The CBI — which took up the investigation in the case in March 2019 — was recently granted permission by the Mahila Court in Coimbatore to examine the voice samples of the five accused persons, who were already arrested.
