Woman Constable Harassed By DMK Workers

The matter came into notice when other police personnel found their female colleague crying and they rushed to arrest the two accused who were identified as Egambaram and Praveen. However, other DMK workers stopped them from doing so and sided with the accused. They created a scene at the event and the two youth wing members were set free and no official complaint was filed against them, they were allowed to roam freely during the event.

Regarding the incident, opposition party BJP's leader K Annamalai wrote on Twitter, "Disgraceful state of affairs in Tamil Nadu. Governance is in deep slumber. Two DMK Youth wing functionaries molested a police constable on protection duty in a public meeting in which MP Smt @KanimozhiDMK avargal participated."

He continued in another tweet, "What's more disgusting is that the DMK men ganged up and stopped police from arresting those two individuals. @CMOTamilnadu, as usual, continues to be a silent spectator to this."

DMK did not initiate any action against the two accused members. On Sunday, the woman constable reportedly went to the Valasaravakkam police station and lodged a complaint against the two DMK youth wing members who allegedly harassed her. The police has not yet filed a case.
