TN: College student sexually assaulted by three men near Coimbatore airport
Coimbatore (PTI): A college student was sexually assaulted by three men near the Coimbatore international airport, police said on Monday.
The unidentified miscreants attacked and chased away the male friend of the 19-year-old student and allegedly sexually assaulted her on November 2 night, police said.
The incident near the high security area sent shock waves across the city. Police said seven special teams have been formed to trace out and nab the culprits.
Both the student and her friend have been admitted to hospital.
Expressing shock over the incident, BJP leader K Annamalai claimed that since the DMK came to power in Tamil Nadu, incidents such as these have shown that anti-social elements no longer fear the law or the police.
"From DMK ministers to police officials, there has been a disturbing pattern of shielding sexual offenders instead of ensuring justice. The DMK government has utterly failed in both preventing sexual crimes and providing safety for women," he alleged in a post on the social media platform 'X'.

India can play 'greater role' for peace in West Asia, says Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi
New Delhi (PTI): India can play a "greater role" for peace in West Asia, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi Thursday said.
Addressing a press conference here, he said there is no military solution to anything related to Iran.
He also said Iran is ready to help pass all vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, adding the situation in Strait of Hormuz is very complicated now.
Araghchi, who is in New Delhi to attend a BRICS conclave, said there can't be any solution other than a negotiated settlement on the West Asia crisis.
"We will welcome any constructive role by India," he said.
On negotiations with the US, he said these are "suffering from trust".
"Iran has every reason not to trust US while Americans have every reason to trust us," he said.
According to Araghchi, mediation by Pakistan has not failed yet.
He also asserted Iran has never wanted nuclear weapons.
