NCW flags lapses in probe as Anna varsity row rages
Hindustan Times Haryana
|December 31, 2024
A fact-finding team from the National Commission for Women (NCW) has found certain shortcomings following a probe into the sexual assault on the second-year Anna University student, commission member Mamta Kumari said on Monday, even as political uproar over the incident intensified.
CHENNAI:
Tamil Nadu's principal opposition party, the AIADMK, attempted to hold a statewide protest targeting the ruling DMK for the incident, while TVK president and actor Vijay met Governor RN Ravi and urged for steps to ensure the safety of women.
"We have conducted the probe and submitted the findings to the Governor. We will give the report to the commission. There have been shortcomings on the side of the university administration, and the police," NCW member Mamta Kumari said. Earlier in the day, Kumari accompanied by former Maharashtra DGP Praveen Dixit met the students and the management of the Anna University. The NCW took suo motu cognisance of the crime last week following a complaint from BJP state chief K Annamalai.
