Pointing out that a CBI probe was sought during the trial, DMK deputy general secretary and MP Kanimozhi, said the state police handled the case efficiently and secured a conviction in 157 days from the date of occurrence of the crime. She said one would wonder if even CBI would have investigated the case this fast.

She contended the Pollachi sexual crimes against multiple women during the previous AIADMK regime would have been buried if not for the voices raised by the DMK and other parties.

Responding to EPS’s claim that the SIT probe was ordered by the high court and therefore the government shouldn’t take credit, Minister S Regupathy said though it was the high court that ordered the SIT probe, the unit is part of the Tamil Nadu police.

“If the SIT worked efficiently, it reflects the efficiency of the police under the DMK government,” he said.
