A shocking incident of abduction has been reported from the Irugur area near Coimbatore, where CCTV footage captured a woman being forcibly taken into a car by unidentified individuals on Thursday evening. The video, which has since gone viral on social media, shows a car abruptly pulling over and the occupants dragging a young woman into the vehicle before speeding away.
According to preliminary reports, the incident occurred around 7 PM when three female students were walking along the roadside. One of them was allegedly targeted by the assailants, attacked, and pushed into the car. The victim’s screams can be heard in the footage, adding to the public alarm.
Police teams from Peelamedu and Singanallur stations immediately rushed to the spot after receiving information about the abduction. Officers have begun a full-scale investigation, collecting CCTV footage from the surrounding areas to trace the vehicle’s route and identify the suspects. Eyewitnesses in the locality have been questioned, and a search operation has been launched.
The incident has triggered widespread concern, coming just days after a gang rape case near the Coimbatore airport shocked the state. The back-to-back incidents have intensified public anxiety about women’s safety in the region.
Tamil Nadu BJP president Nainar Nagendran strongly condemned the incident, accusing the DMK government of presiding over a collapse of law and order in Coimbatore. In a post on X, he wrote: “Turning the Manchester of the South into a region prowled by monsters who prey on women is DMK’s only achievement! It is shocking that, just three days after the gang rape of a student in Coimbatore, CCTV footage has now emerged from Irugur showing a woman being abducted. I urge the Tamil Nadu police not to act as the DMK’s henchmen but to immediately intervene and rescue the abducted woman.”
Nagendran further stated that incidents like the gang sexual assault near the airport and the Irugur abduction highlight the total breakdown of women’s safety under DMK rule. He also questioned the state government’s law enforcement approach, saying,
“With such incompetent administration and deteriorating law and order, how many criminals do you plan to shoot down in encounters to protect women, Hon. Chief Minister Thiru. M.K. Stalin?”
He added that a government “which sacrifices women to predatory vultures while merely making empty promises” cannot be described as one delivering good governance.
