|May 20, 2025
AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami on Monday criticized the DMK government for failing to take action against a youth wing functionary, R Deivaseyal from Arakkonam, who is accused of sexually exploiting and assaulting a college student.
If no action is taken against Deivaseyal immediately, the AIADMK will stage massive protests, Palaniswami said in a release.
Palaniswami later announced a demonstration near the Arakkonam old bus stand on Wednesday condemning the government for remaining a mute spectator to the sexual atrocities committed on women and also for failing to take action against Deivaseyal. In his statement, Palaniswami alleged that Deivaseyal kidnapped the college student and forcefully married her, and police had refused to register an FIR when the woman initially complained.
