"Would Bite Like Mad Dog": Tamil Nadu Woman Accuses Husband Of Sexual Assault
Chennai:
A young woman from Tamil Nadu has accused her husband - a 40-year-old man associated with the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam - of torture and sexual harassment, declaring "his job is to force 20-year-old girls to sleep with politicians" and that "he would bite me like a mad dog" if she complained.
The woman - a 20-year-old college student from Arakkonam district - also said her husband, whom she identified as Deivaseyal, who claimed to be the Deputy Secretary of the DMK's youth wing, had threaten to set on fire her family members if she ever complained to the police.
"He assaulted me on the way to college... injured me and broke my phone. And he would say, 'if you complain nothing will happen as the police will support me'. Because of him I tried to take poison," she said in an appeal picked up by the main opposition, the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam.
"His job is to torture 20-year-old girls to sleep with politicians... no action is ever taken against him. When I complain he threatens to cut me into pieces. He tortured me in the car and told me to sleep with the men he pointed to... I can't even leave my home. I couldn't take my exams," the woman said.
She also said her husband would "abuse me before everyone" and called on DMK boss and Chief Minister MK Stalin to act. "Otherwise, I will kill myself...." she said in her appeal.
The horrific allegations have prompted the AIADMK to accuse the DMK of shielding Deivaseyal, claiming the police initially refused to file a case because of his links to the ruling party.
AIADMK, DMK Trade Jabs
In a statement on X, AIADMK boss Edappadi K Palaniswami said the cops refused to act on the woman's complaint till the AIADMK's S Ravi, the local MLA, raised his voice on her behalf.
When the police eventually filed her complaint, the woman also claimed links between her husband and the Tamil Nadu School Education Minister, Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi.
The police have said a preliminary inquiry indicates there is no evidence at this time to suggest sexual assault. In her complaint the young woman said she had been introduced to several men by her husband, and had presumed that she would be sent to each to perform sexual acts.
The state government has rubbished the allegations. The DMK said the police will act against the guilty, and that the party will take internal action depending on the cops' investigation.
AIADMK's Pollachi Sex Abuse Case Barb
Meanwhile, in his scathing attack on the DMK, Mr Palaniswami drew parallels to the horrific 2019 Pollachi sex abuse case, in which multiple women were raped by a gang of nine men between 2016 and 2018; they filmed these assaults and extorted money and sexual favours.
"For (DMK boss and Chief Minister MK) Stalin, who often cites Pollachi... Arakkonam is a sample of your chaotic rule. I transferred the Pollachi case to the CBI, but Stalin does everything to dilute this. Will this 'dummy dad' government act against the DMK functionary?" he wrote in Tamil.

இந்த வழக்கில் FIR பதிய அலைக்கழித்த ஸ்டாலின் மாடல் அரசின் காவல்துறை, அரக்கோணம் தொகுதி கழக…

"I not, the AIADMK will lead massive protests," Mr Palaniswami warned.
The Pollachi gang was sentenced earlier this month to consecutive life sentences.

When the case broke, it was the AIADMK of Mr Palaniswami that was in power, and it was the DMK of current Chief Minister MK Stalin that was the primary opposition.

In both cases the opposition accused the government of a 'cover-up', declaring the police initially refused to file charges because a member of the party in power was involved.
The Pollachi gang included an AIADMK member who was later sacked.

Additionally, Jane stated that she used to get UTIs or yeast infections after the 'hotel nights,' according to People. Furthermore, the woman said she was expected to be back in action while she was not completely recovered. Jane stated that the extended encounters (more than 30 hours) would make her body parts sore because she had to be in the same posture for hours. 'Look at the roof over your head and that pretty smile" Jane confronted Diddy about the 'hotel nights' and said that she did not want to have any more sexual encounters with other men. However, she feared that her financial support would be revoked if she did not obey him, according to The New York Times.

Census delay a sinister move to weaken southern states: MK Stalin slams Centre
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has alleged that the delay in conducting the National Census and the upcoming delimitation exercise are part of a calculated move by the Union Government to undermine the political representation of southern states. "The Census delay is no accident. The delimitation plan is not a coincidence," says the delay in the Census a 'sinister design,' Stalin warned that states like Tamil Nadu, which followed population control policies, would now be penalised for their progress. 'The 2027 Census will form the basis for the next delimitation, replacing the 1971 data. This gives the Union BJP Government the means to restructure Parliamentary representation to its advantage, at the cost of the Southern States,' he questioned the credibility of the Union Government's assurances, saying, 'The Ministry of Home Affairs claims that the concerns of affected States will be addressed. But these are vague remarks. What is needed is a clear Parliamentary commitment and a suitable constitutional amendment.' Drawing parallels with the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, the Chief Minister remarked, 'While the Union Government spoke of restoring statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, Article 370 was abrogated. Elections were held. Assurances were given in the Supreme Court. Yet, Jammu and Kashmir remains a Union Territory. This is the track record of the BJP we are dealing with.'Warning of the potential consequences of the proposed delimitation, Stalin said, 'If the Union Government proceeds with the delimitation based on the 2027 Census, the democratic power of peninsular India will be reduced to irrelevance. The danger I warned of is at our doorstep.'Taking a swipe at the opposition AIADMK and its leader, Edappadi K Palaniswami, Stalin said, 'Even if betrayers like the AIADMK choose to kneel before the BJP for their political survival, the people of Tamil Nadu led by the DMK will never allow our state to be punished for its progress.'Must Watch IN THIS STORY#Muthuvel Karunanidhi Stalin

Stalin's jibe at centre: Census delay no accident
CHENNAI: Sounding an alarm over the 2027 Census announced by the centre, CM MK Stalin, taking to X, said the danger of delimitation was imminent and that the Census would give the BJP-led union government the means to restructure parliamentary representation to its advantage, at the cost of the southern states. 'The census delay is no accident and delimitation plan no coincidence. The danger I warned of is at our doorstep,' he said. Referring to the claim of the ministry of home affairs that the concerns of states would be addressed, the CM said, 'These are vague remarks. What is needed is a clear parliamentary commitment and a suitable constitutional amendment.' Meanwhile, in a post on X, DMK MP Kanimozhi lashed out at EPS, saying, 'The people of Tamil Nadu will never forgive your betrayal.' She added someone who bows down to their 'Delhi masters' has no right to preach to the DMK. 'You sold out. We won't,' Kanimozhi added.
