DMK Functionary & Udhayanidhi Stalin’s Fan Club Member Held In Thanjavur Gangrape Case

A man arrested for the alleged gangrape of a young woman near her home in Thanjavur district is a DMK functionary and a member of Udhayanidhi Stalin’s fan club.

According to reports, the 22-year-old victim was returning home after shopping on the evening of August 12 when DMK functionary Kavidasan (25) forcefully took her to an isolated area along with his accomplices Diwakar (27), Praveen (20), and a 17-year-old male. They then gang-raped her and recorded the assault on video.

On the same night, the victim filed a complaint at the all-women police station in Orathanadu. On August 12, Tuesday, Kavidasan, Diwakar, Praveen, and the 17-year-old boy were arrested. The victim was admitted to the Thanjavur Medical College Hospital for medical care.

The young woman is a graduate who works in a Chennai-based company. She was visiting her parents in Tanjavur for vacation when she was attacked.

BJP Tamil Nadu President K. Annamalai, sharing a picture of Kavidasan that exposes his DMK affiliation, said, “The DMK government continues to prove its complete disregard for the safety and dignity of the people of Tamil Nadu. The horrific gang rape of a young girl by DMK functionary and Udhayanidhi Stalin fan club member, Kavidasan in Orathanadu, Thanjavur, is yet another example of the lawlessness under this administration.

I wish to express my strongest condemnation against this barbaric act & demand that the criminals receive the punishment they deserve. With Ganja easily available across the state, it’s no surprise that such crimes are rising. This incident mirrors the 2022 gang rape in Virudhunagar, also involving DMK youth wing members.”

The ruling party in Tamil Nadu is linked to a horrific sexual crime on the same day in which Women MPs from the ruling party in West Bengal are facing criticism for their lack of empathy regarding a brutal rape and murder case in Kolkata.
