Accordingly the trading community here is planning a protest shutdown on Tuesday and a rally demanding a court monitored probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the Pollachi serial sexual abuse cum blackmail case, said a shopkeeper. When speaking to reporters, the trader said that the shutdown and rally will see participation of different political parties and social organizations. Meanwhile after days of protests by students, political parties and various other social organizations it was relatively calm.
Accordingly four persons Thirunavukkarasu, Sathish, Sabarirajan, Vasanthakumar all in their 20s, have been accused of sexually assaulting women in Pollachi and filming the act to blackmail them for money or for physical submission for over seven years. Meanwhile students and other organizations hit the roads for the past several days demanding stringent punishment for the culprits.
Moreover the CBCID got Thirunavukkarasu's custody on Friday. Hence it has already written to social media organizations requesting them to remove the videos pertaining to the Pollachi abuse case. Previously on Friday, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court told the central government to remove all videos related to the Pollachi serial sexual assaults from the Internet. As per report in Chennai, a lawyer has filed a public interest litigation in the High Court for a court monitored CBI probe and the petition was expected to come up for hearing next week.
