Lankan woman raped by TN police, commits suicide: Mother files petition

Lankan woman raped by TN police, commits suicide: Mother files petition Accusing all the state organs of shielding three constables who had allegedly raped a Sri Lankan Tamil woman, her mother has filed a petition in the Madras high court seeking compensation and a CBI probe. The young woman committed self-immolation after the alleged incident and later gave a dying declaration against the cops.

Justice K Suguna, before whom the petition filed by B Padmavathi’s came up for admission, ordered notices to the home secretary, director-general of police and the CBI director.
Padmavathi contended that she and her daughter were picked up by the Karur police from their refugee camp at Rayanoor on March 7. The police, who had come in a van, claimed that her husband had been detained in connection with a murder case and that he wanted to meet them.


Padmavathi said they were taken to an armed reserve force camp, where she was asked to wait in the van and her daughter was taken into a building. After nearly three hours, she too was allowed into the building where she saw three constables in civil dress walking out. Her daughter limped out of the room, she said, adding that her daughter was completely shaken and not in a position to even talk. Source by: ada derana Read more
