The December 23 incident saw a woman attacked and harassed on campus while meeting her boyfriend.

Flyers, leaflets, and DMK’s own mouthpiece Murasoli confirm his role as a local party deputy organizer, despite DMK leaders denying his affiliation.
Anna University Sexual Assault Case
The shocking revelation of a sexual assault of a woman at Chennai’s premier institution Anna University when she was spending time with a student with whom she was in a relationship.
The incident occurred on 23 December 2024, when the victim, who had been in a two-year romantic relationship with a fellow student, was meeting her boyfriend at their usual secluded spot on campus. Two unknown individuals approached them, attacked the boyfriend, and then sexually harassed the woman. The perpetrators forced the student to strip, filmed her without her consent, threatened her, and fled the scene. The traumatized student reported the incident to the Kotturpuram police.
One person has been arrested in connection with the sexual harassment – a 37-year-old Gnanasekaran, who reportedly is a roadside biriyani vendor from Kotturpuram. He is alleged to have multiple pending cases against him. The Kotturpuram police have filed a case under section 64 of the BNSS and are continuing their investigation.
The victim has also filed a complaint with the university’s POSH committee. The Chennai police are working with the university to strengthen campus security. Authorities have not yet issued an official statement on the matter.
However, it has come to light that the accused Gnanasekaran is a repeat offender and a DMK functionary. Pictures circulating on social media show him alongside several prominent DMK leaders, including Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin and Minister Ma. Subramanian.

The FIR also reveals shocking details of the crime.
However, DMK members and leaders are trying to push the narrative to the other side by claiming that the accused is not a DMK member.
