Varsity Rape Case FIR Leaked, NCW Demands Action
The New Indian Express Hubballi
|December 27, 2024
Amid outrage over the sexual assault of the student on Anna University campus and protests by students and opposition parties, a new controversy broke out on Thursday after the FIR filed on Tuesday by the Kotturpuram All Women Police Station (AWPS) in the case landed in the public domain.
The FIR had graphic details about the ordeal suffered by the student and her name, address and phone number, sources said.
While the AIADMK and BJP hit the streets on Thursday, and the saffron party alleged that the accused was a DMK office-bearer, Law Minister S Regupathi rejected the allegations as untrue. The accused, Gnanasekaran (37), a local biryani vendor, was booked under Section 63, 64 and 75 of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS), 2023.
