After sexually assaulting chennai university student roadside vendor took her number threatened her to keep meeting him
After a roadside biryani vendor was arrested Wednesday for allegedly sexually assaulting a student of Chennai’s Anna University on the institute’s campus Monday night, the BJP and AIADMK have led the Opposition’s attack on Tamil Nadu’s ruling DMK, with some leaders claiming that the accused had links to Chief Minister M K Stalin’s party. The DMK has denied any association with the accused, 37-year-old Gnanasekaran.According to police, the assault occurred around 8 pm Monday, when the student was chatting with a friend at a secluded area of the 180-acre campus.
“Gnanasekaran approached the students and threatened them by saying he had taken their video. He then demanded that the male friend leave. The victim was assaulted thereafter. We have recovered his cellphone with evidence of the crime that he had recorded. We are now examining the device to find if there were more such crimes he committed and deleted evidence,” an officer said.
After the incident, the student contacted the police on Tuesday morning and filed a complaint with the university’s Internal Complaints Committee for Prevention of Sexual Harassment. A case was registered under Section 64 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and the Kotturpuram all-women police formed four teams to apprehend the accused.
