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.
