Man arrested in Anna University sexual assault case not DMK member but party sympathiser, says T.N. CM Stalin

The Tamil Nadu police will have no mercy and spare no one, if more individuals are found to be involved in the sexual assault on a student in Anna University, Chief Minister M.K. He added that the man arrested in sexual assault case was “not a member of the DMK but a sympathiser of the party.” “Whoever it may be, the police will have no mercy on them and initiate strong action,” Mr. Stalin said in the House. He is “not a member of the DMK but a DMK sympathiser,” Mr. Stalin said, adding that he might have taken photos with ministers and politicians but there was nothing wrong with that per se. As for the Opposition parties’ criticism over the FIR leak in the case, Mr. Stalin said the National Informatics Centre, which was under the Union government, on being alerted by the State government, had resolved the technical glitch that caused the problem. Referring to the recent judgment of a trial court awarding capital punishment to a man convicted in a case of pushing a woman in front of a train, Mr. Stalin said it was under his government that the punishment was awarded.
