An intern at IIT Madras was allegedly sexually harassed by a food court staff member on campus. Taking serious note, the National Commission for Women (NCW) has taken suo motu cognisance of the reported assault case.
The Madras High Court criticized Chennai Police for leaking the identity of a sexual assault victim from Anna University, questioning their accountability and handling of the case. The Court stressed the need for redaction of victim details in FIRs, emphasizing that lapses could deter future victims from seeking help.
