Tamil Nadu BJP president K. Annamalai has alleged that the state is becoming increasingly unsafe due to the deteriorating law and order situation. He expressed shock over the recent murder of a couple who worked as agricultural labourers in Unjapalayam village near Avinashi in Tiruppur district. He also highlighted previous violent crimes in the area, emphasising the worsening security conditions. He accused the ruling DMK government of weakening the police force, claiming that people have lost trust in law enforcement. The BJP leader criticised the Tamil Nadu police for leaking the FIR in the Anna University rape case, which led to the victim’s identity being revealed. He alleged that this was done deliberately and that the accused, Gnanashekaran, was not on the police’s rowdy list despite his criminal background. The accused allegedly attacked the male friend, brutally assaulted him, and then dragged the girl to a nearby shrub, where he raped her. The family of three was brutally hacked to death in Semalai Goundenpalayam in 2024, yet the perpetrators remain at large. Similarly, in 2023, a gang broke into a house near Palladam and murdered four people.
