The Tamil Nadu police's statement on the sexual abuse of nearly 60 women in Pollachi has raised several questions. The horrific sex abuse case, which has rocked the state, came to light last month after one of the women filed a police complaint. Yesterday, the state government decided to transfer the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation. The police's handling of the case appears to have been marked by lapses on the score of evidence, tracing survivors and pinning down the number of accused, say opposition parties in Tamil Nadu.
