There can be no understanding or prevention of trauma on women.
But perhaps all more tragic is that India – who treats their women with the worst and calculated violence with the best and calculated violence, and from time to time, ‘Jerk’ should be to have some measures to understand the trauma so far.
Since 2019, evidence otherwise suggests; In 2020, a Dalit woman was gangraped and murdered in the hands of Uttar Pradesh, a 15 -year -old girl was raped several times in 2021, several people, by many, in nine months, a 17 -year -old girl was gangraped in Hyderabad in 2022.
These are only three of the hundreds that were documented. And in all the possibilities, there were hundreds and thousands of rapes and sexual harassment cases that were never reported.
2019 Polachi Sex Assault Case
Police believe that Polachi crime – from sexual harassment to rape and gang rape, blackmail and theft – was from 2016 to 2018 and was prepared for at least eight women.
The end began in February 2019, when a 19 -year -old college student was inducted into a car, which reached a car, and raped. The attackers filmed the attack and tried to blackmail it.
That was not his first goal – unconfirmed reports say that at least 60 – but she was his last.
The woman reported the crime to her family. A police case was registered and even preliminary inquiry revealed the terrible nature and the number of crimes. The case was later handed over to a special division of the State Police Force and eventually, to a federal agency, CBI.
The transfer to the CBI was after the continuous pressure from the opposition and gender workers, including a passionate appeal of women lawyers contacting the Madras High Court.
Callus Action-A 19-year-old woman named a state policeman, also inspired the transfer, protecting the identity of sexual harassment victims in violation of well established laws.
In May, CBI filed its first charge sheet.
Five people were named – Sabarirjan alias Riswant, K Thirunvukkarasau, T Vasant Kumar, M Satish and R Mani. The first was a construction worker, the next two money lenders, and two later businessmen.

How Polachi Sex Assault Gang operates
The Central Bureau of Investigation highlighted a devious pattern of systemic misuse; Before identifying the goals on Facebook and filming their rape (sometimes there were many rapists) and then before expanding sex using the video, befriending them.
Misconception in the game was outlined in March 2019; A short video, allegedly an confession, by one of the men, the rapist waived his actions, claiming that women did not really mean ‘no’ when they shouted during rape.

Political game
The Polachi Sex Assault case made cover-ups against the AIADMK, which was accused of forcing the police to delay the cases. The party denied these claims.
DMK, now in power and then in opposition, and actor Kamal Haasan’s MNM bursting into his opponent, also flagged rape cases in other parts of the state and armed the Polachi rape case before the 2021 assembly poll. AIADMK lost power after that election.
This is important, possibly, that as the Polachi case is eventually resolved, again, again, there are elections in Tamil Nadu; DMK will demand a second term for the state government next year.
