Chennai (Tamil Nadu) – A disturbing incident has emerged near Jolarpettai in Tirupattur, Tamil Nadu, where a four-month-pregnant woman was sexually assaulted on a moving train. Authorities have identified two young men as the alleged perpetrators.

The victim was travelling to Chittoor in Andhra Pradesh. In the early hours of 7thFebruary, while she was heading to the train’s restroom, the assailants intercepted and assaulted her. When she screamed for help, the attackers pushed her off the train near KV Kuppam in Vellore District. The victim sustained fractures to her hand and leg, along with head injuries. She has been admitted to the Vellore District Government Hospital for treatment. Police have registered a case and arrested a suspect named Hemraj in connection with the crime.

AIADMK criticises the DMK State Government

AIADMK (All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) General Secretary Palaniswamy condemned the incident, stating, “The news that a pregnant woman was sexually assaulted by two men and then pushed off a train when she tried to scream is shocking. It is the height of shame that women in Tamil Nadu cannot walk safely on the road; cannot go to school, colleges, or workplaces; and now cannot even travel by train.”

He said that the “continuation of such atrocities” proves the failure of the State Government to protect women and appealed for strict legal action against the culprits.
