On Wednesday (November 2) a group of six miscreants assaulted a 50-year-old man P. Senthamil Pandian who came to pick up his daughter from the college. The incident took place outside Sri Meenakshi Government Arts College for Women, Madurai, Tamil Nadu where the victim’s daughter studies. The victim is reported to be from Aruldosspuram.
It was reportedly around 3:30 PM while the college girls were coming out of the college, a funeral procession was passing near the college entrance, and it was seen that a group of young men riding bikes as part of the procession began to cause a commotion. They appeared to be inebriated as well.
Even as the girls passed by, many miscreants danced and shouted. When Pandian confronted the miscreants about their behavior and attitude, six of them assaulted him and even pushed him down. Pandian was also hit with a helmet by the accused miscreants as seen in the video.

As the accused attempted to surround Senthamil, college staffers pushed the college students back onto campus and closed the main gate. Some men were also seen trying to pacify the attackers.
S G Suryah, the State Secretary of the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) took to Twitter and condemn the lawlessness in the state and even call CM MK Stalin the weakest ever chief minister of Tamil Nadu. “Madurai violence against College girls & their parents is horrific. Like we repeatedly say Mr. MK Stalin is the weakest ever Chief Minister Tamil Nadu has ever had. Law & Order plummets because he neither inspires nor is vigilant against troublemakers,” he tweeted.
