 Tamil Nadu, once the safe haven for women, has been turning into a place of nightmare as there has been more  crime against women incidents coming to the fore with the recent being the brutal killing of an aspiring actress by her husband, whose chopped head still to be traced in Chennai dump yards and a class X student who was dead after being gang rapped for five days in a shed near Chennai.


Call it a lackadaisical attitude of police, in the second case, had the police acted on the plaint lodged by the student’s parents on the very same day when she failed to return home from school, the girl would have saved from the perpetrators and living among her parents now.
