In yet another instance of crime against women and children in Tamil Nadu, a DMK cadre named Sivakumar (50) has been arrested by the police reportedly for sexually abusing a 3-year-old girl.

Sivakumar is a building mason residing in Chinnakarai near Palladam in Tirupur district. He is also a DMK functionary in the area. He had reportedly taken the 3-year-old girl living in his neighbourhood into his house where he sexually abused her.

The traumatized girl went home crying and told her parents about the incident. Subsequently, the girl’s parents lodged a complaint at the Palladam Women’s Police Station.

The Palladam women police who investigated the incident arrested the accused DMK functionary. A case has been filed under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

Posting about this incident on social media, AIADMK Spokesperson Kovai Sathyan questioned DMK MP Kanimozhi’s silence who had tweeted about another incident where a 22-year-old Christian Dalit girl was raped by 8 people including two DMK functionaries for several months.
