Outrage in Tamil Nadu: 3-Year-Old Dies After Alleged Rape by Father’s Co-Worker
A three-year-old girl in Gummidipoondi, Tiruvallur district, Tamil Nadu died after she was allegedly sexually assaulted by a 19-year-old co-worker of her father. On the night of June 14, the girl was playing near her home when the suspect, employed at the same steel company, lured her to a nearby shop and attacked her. He then abandoned her in a bush and fled the scene. A neighbour found the child and raised the alarm. Residents rescued her and detained the suspect until SIPCOT police arrived. The girl was taken to a hospital in Kottakarai and later transferred to Stanley Government Hospital in Chennai, where she succumbed to her injuries on June 15. Protesters gathered outside the SIPCOT police station demanding swift justice. They called for a thorough investigation to identify all those involved and urged authorities to boost security in worker settlements where parents are often away at work.
