Tiruvallur: A shocking incident has come to light from Tamil Nadu's Tiruvallur district. A three-year-old child died after she was allegedly sexually assaulted by four men.
According to an India Today report, the toddler went missing after being lured away by a 19-year-old who offered her a Rs 5 packet of biscuits. She was later found dumped in a thorny bush. The victim was the child of migrant workers. The incident occurred on June 14, when the child's mother was searching for her daughter in the evening. The child was found in a nearby thorny bush area.
Following the incident, she was taken to a nearby hospital and passed away while undergoing treatment. A case was registered at the police station, and so far, out of the four accused, a 19-year-old youth has been arrested. Police teams are actively searching for the remaining three suspects.
DMK MP Kanimozhi took to social media to question the Tamil Nadu government, raising serious concerns about the safety of children. In a post she wrote, "Hearing the news that a three-year-old child was subjected to sexual abuse by anti-social elements in Kummidipoondi and thrown into a bush has left my heart frozen in shock. All women, please take care of yourselves and your children safely. This state is being governed in such a way that one begins to doubt whether there is any government at all. In a regime run by those who don't know the meaning of the word 'responsibility,' what can the public do other than ensure their own safety?"ast monthasta
Meanwhile, just last month, a shocking incident took place in Coimbatore where a 10-year-old girl who had gone missing from the Sulur area was found dead with injuries near a pond. Police arrested two men in connection with the abduction and murder. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay condemned the incident as 'horrific' and ordered an immediate and thorough investigation. Anger over the incident quickly spilled onto the streets, with the girl's family and hundreds of local residents staged a protest outside Sulur Police Station and on a nearby national highway.
