Tamil Nadu Takes Action Following Fake NCC Camp Abuse Allegations

The Tamil Nadu government has issued a show cause notice to a Krishnagiri school after allegations of sexual abuse at a fake NCC camp organized by anti-social elements. The Madras High Court Bench has directed the investigation to continue and sought multiple reports, while considering transferring the case to the CBI.

The Tamil Nadu government, on Wednesday, informed the Madras High Court that a show cause notice has been issued to a school in Krishnagiri district after allegations surfaced that 12 girls were sexually abused during a fake NCC camp organized by anti-social elements.

Advocate General P S Raman made this known during a hearing of a Public Interest Litigation filed by advocate A P Suryaprakasam before the bench comprising Acting Chief Justice D Krishnakumar and Justice P B Balaji. He stated that the school management has until Thursday to respond, failing which the Director of School Education may be appointed as a special officer to take control of the school.

The bench has requested the investigation report, the post-mortem reports of the prime accused and his father, who both died, one allegedly by suicide post-incident. The Tamil Nadu Legal Services Authority has been entrusted to inspect the school and interact with students and parents, with the next hearing set for September 4.
