Sabarirajan then blackmailed Sheela with the videos and extorted money from her. A very disturbed Sheela finally informed her brother of the situation and he confronted Sabarirajan. When the confrontation turned rough, the police intervened and that’s when Sheela’s brother narrated the story. Sheela then filed a formal complaint at the station against Sabarirajan, Vasanthkumar, Sathesh and Thirunavakarasu. While the Police nabbed the three of them, Thirunavakarasu absconded.
Thirunavakarasu is the main accused as he is the one who initiates the Facebook befriending and Sabarirajan takes it forward from then. However, Priya wasn’t the first victim and that these monsters are habitual sex offenders and that around 200 young girls have been victims to the situation. However, noone came forward to file a complaint against the same.
Many on Twitter were outraged listening to the news, condemned the action and urged the necessity to action:
Hope a conducive environment is created, so victims can come forward..
Hope all the perpetrators are served justice without political interference, the maximum sentence possible under law..

Shocked by the #PollachiSexualAbuse case. Hope there is systemic support given so that survivors can come forward and strengthen the case against the criminals who did this. Preying on girls using social media is a growing menace and we must safeguard against it.

I strongly condemn these monsters … மிருகங்களினும் கேவலமான இந்த 4 பேரும் பெண்களை சித்ரவதை செய்து பாலியல் கொடுமைப்படுத்தியது வீடியோ பார்த்து நெஞ்சம் பதைபதைக்கிறது… இவர்களை பொது வெளியில் நடமாடவிடுவது சமூகத்திற்கு பேராபத்து..#arrestpollachirapists #arrestpollachirapists pic.twitter.com/eMCl6sP9W1

The Pollachi Gang Rape Group is politically connected. They have been making ‘friends’ with women or posing as some ‘travel group’ to gang rape girls. They have also shot videos of it.
One of the victim’s brother was beaten up by the same rapist circle.#PollachiGangRape— Chinmayi Sripaada (@Chinmayi) March 11, 2019
After reading through the blood curdling Pollachi rape – It is not in the least surprising why many didn’t take a stand.
“Women empowerment” Women’s Safety are all good for speeches.
But who is walking the talk please? Let me know 🙂

If it was not for Sheela, the torture the other 200 girls faced would have been silenced forever. Women must come forward and voice their opinion despite being suppressed. If not, there is no way these monsters could be provided with the highest level of punishment. Money has become so imperative that lives do not matter anymore and especially when it comes to women sexually attacking her seems to be the first option. This is absolutely disgusting and disturbing.
We, as women must stand with each other and our voices must be loud enough for Justice to open her eyes!
