Krishnagiri Horror: DMK Functionary Arrested Under POCSO After Toddler’s Death
A shocking and tragic incident in Krishnagiri, Tamil Nadu, has led to the arrest of a DMK party functionary following the death of a two-and-a-half-year-old girl. The case has sparked widespread anger and grief across the state.
According to police reports, the accused, identified as Periyanayagam, was allegedly involved in assaulting the child while her mother was away. He has been arrested and booked under the POCSO Act (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act), a strict law meant to protect minors from abuse.
The incident came to light when the child’s mother took her to a hospital, claiming she had suffered a seizure. However, doctors declared that the child had already passed away. The girl’s father reportedly became suspicious and insisted on a detailed investigation. A post-mortem examination later revealed multiple injuries and confirmed sexual assault, leading to serious charges against the accused.
The case has triggered massive public outrage. Opposition parties have criticized the ruling government, alleging lapses in law and order and questioning the safety of children. They have demanded strict action and transparency in the investigation.
Police officials have stated that the probe is ongoing and that all necessary legal steps are being taken. Authorities have assured that justice will be pursued based on the evidence gathered. The tragic incident has once again raised serious concerns about child safety and the urgent need for stronger protective measures.
