In his scathing attack on the DMK, AIADMK leader E Palaniswami drew parallels to the horrific 2019 Pollachi sex abuse case, which happened when his party was in power.
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".
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.
