Madras High Court Censures Opposition Over Publicity Tactics in Assault Case

Tamil Nadu's Law Minister S Regupathy stated that the Madras High Court criticized opposition parties, including AIADMK, for leveraging a university student sexual assault case for publicity. Despite ongoing investigations, opposition leader Edappadi K Palaniswami continues to allege falsehoods and demand accountability from unidentified parties involved in the case.

The Madras High Court has issued a stern rebuke to opposition parties for what it describes as their 'publicity-centric' response to the sexual assault case involving a university student, according to Tamil Nadu Law Minister S Regupathy.

The minister accused political rivals, notably the AIADMK and its general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami, of propagating lies regarding the case. He maintained these claims were synonymous with Palaniswami's attempt to revive his political standing.

Amid the protests staged by AIADMK and BJP demanding accountability, ongoing investigations aim to uncover all involved. Palaniswami has repeatedly called for the arrest of an unidentified individual referred to as 'Sir' by the accused.
