Key Questions Answered
DMK MP Kanimozhi stated that anyone involved in the heinous crime, regardless of their status, must be severely punished according to the law, and that individuals who abetted the crime should also be brought before justice to ensure a safe social environment for children.
Former Law Minister Raghupathy stated that a volunteer filed a video complaint on October 6, 2025, and the First Information Report was registered the very next day on October 7. He noted that when the case was investigated, the video was not clear, so they waited for evidence rather than abandoning the case.
Minister C.T.R. Nirmalkumar questioned how Raghupathy could claim the video was shadowy, asking whether he personally viewed it or was informed about it, and alleged that they communicated to the court in a way that suggested closing the case.
