Medicos condemn Pollachi incident
MADURAI, MARCH 15, 2019 00:00 IST
More than 200 students of Madurai Medical College formed a human chain on the college premises on Thursday, condemning the Pollachi sexual abuse incident and demanding stringent action against the perpetrators.
The students said that the incident had shaken the conscience of the people of Tamil Nadu. T. Sethupathi, a postgraduate student, said the investigation and trial must be conducted in a speedy and fully transparent manner. “No one involved in committing this heinous crime must be allowed to escape from the law,” he said.
Another student said the punishment to the perpetrators must be exemplary. “We are not demanding capital punishment. However, the punishment must be stringent enough that it acts as a deterrent,” she said. Stating that the incident also indicated the deep-rooted flaws in the society, Mr. Sethupathi said children should be taught through the school curriculum itself to treat the opposite gender equally.
