In a recent event in Tamil Nadu, a nursing student was allegedly kidnapped near Theni's old bus stand and gangraped in a moving vehicle. According to reports, she was later dropped off near Dindigul railway station, prompting her to seek immediate help.
Upon her arrival at the police station, Dindigul Superintendent of Police, Pradeep, personally attended to her case and registered her complaint. Understanding the gravity of the situation, he ensured that the student was admitted to the Dindigul Government Medical College and Hospital, where she is currently receiving medical treatment and psychological support.
The police launched a thorough investigation into the case, treating it with utmost seriousness due to the sensitive nature of the allegations. Officers collected evidence, interviewed witnesses, and reviewed surveillance footage in the vicinity. However, after an extensive inquiry, it was concluded that the complaint was false, allegedly filed due to the student’s mental distress. Authorities stated that there was no factual evidence to support her claims, and the medical examination conducted on the student corroborated this conclusion, as it found no signs of sexual assault.
Despite the findings, the First Information Report (FIR) had already been filed, which means that the case remains open under legal protocols. The police have indicated that further investigation into the matter will continue, with a focus on understanding the mental health issues that may have led to this incident. They aim to determine the full context of the situation, exploring whether external pressures or internal struggles contributed to the student's actions.
The investigation has found no evidence of abduction or harassment.
