A shocking incident similar to the recent Anna University campus sexual harassment case has occurred in Ramanathapuram district, sparking widespread concern about women’s safety in the state.
On 31 December 2024, police arrested four men for allegedly threatening and sexually assaulting a young woman near Ramanathapuram.
The attack took place when the young woman was traveling with a male friend of hers to the Puthanendal area. They were intercepted by four men, who assaulted both the woman and her male friend. The perpetrators also sexually harassed the woman during the incident.
Following the assault, the victim filed a complaint at the Ramanathapuram Town police station. The police have since arrested four suspects from Puthanendal —identified as Bhuvanesh kumar, Saran, Selva kumar, and Muneesh kannan—and an investigation is underway.
