CHENNAI: Amid outrage over the sexual assault of the student on Anna University campus and protests by students and opposition parties, in a shocking lapse on Thursday, the FIR filed on Tuesday by the Kotturpuram All Women Police Station (AWPS) in the case landed in public domain.

His other vow, announced Thursday, was that he would not wear footwear until the DMK was ousted from power – and, accordingly, he was barefoot during his self-lashing.

The Madras High Court on Friday questioned as to how Greater Chennai Commissioner of Police A. Arun came to a conclusion, right at the initial stage of investigation, that no one else but for a sole accused was involved in the Anna University sexual assault case.

The Madras High Court heard a writ petition seeking a CBI probe in the Anna University sexual harassment case.

The Madras High Court has taken suo motu cognizance of the Anna University sexual assault case, compelling the state to explain its handling of the investigation amid serious allegations regarding the accused's background and police conduct.

The Chennai City police have registered a case against members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) for organising a protest against the sexual assault on a student of Anna University, by carrying a cloth dummy symbolising the ruling DMK and insisting that it be “treated for weakness” at the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital (RGGGH).
