Chennai, April 15 Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) leader Anbumani Ramadoss has strongly criticised the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) government over what he described as a serious deterioration in law and order, following a brutal attack on a college student near Chennai.
In a post on the social media platform X, Anbumani alleged that the incident took place in Vallur village near Minjur, on the outskirts of Chennai.
According to his statement, a college student who was studying at home for her examinations was attacked by a three-member gang allegedly under the influence of narcotic substances.
He claimed that the assailants forcibly entered the student’s residence and attempted to sexually assault her. When she resisted, the gang reportedly attacked her with sharp weapons, leaving her critically injured. The student was later admitted to a hospital with serious injuries, though official confirmation regarding her condition and the sequence of events is awaited.
Condemning the incident, Anbumani accused the DMK government of failing to ensure the safety of women in the state. He alleged that the widespread availability and increasing consumption of drugs, including cannabis, have contributed to a rise in violent crimes.
The PMK leader described the attack as a “shocking example” of the consequences of what he termed unchecked narcotics proliferation under the current administration. He further stated that the situation has worsened to the extent that women are no longer safe even inside their homes.
Highlighting concerns over policing, Anbumani criticised the authorities for not having arrested the accused at the time of his statement, calling it “deeply shameful.” The PMK leader also reiterated his party’s political stance, asserting that the DMK government has repeatedly failed to protect women and children.
He claimed that the only way to ensure safety and restore law and order in Tamil Nadu is a change in government, expressing confidence that voters would respond decisively in the upcoming elections.
Meanwhile, there has been no immediate official response from the DMK or the police regarding the allegations. Authorities are expected to verify the details of the incident and provide further updates.
