It is alleged that on the evening of August 12, when the victim was returning from shopping, Kavithasan (25) forcibly took the woman to a secluded area along with his accomplices Diwakar (27), Praveen (20), a 17-year-old man. They then raped her and captured the attack on video.

The same night, the victim filed a complaint at the women-only police station in Orathanadu. On Tuesday, August 12, Kavitasan, Diwakar, Praveen and the 17-year-old boy were arrested. The raped woman was admitted to Thanjavur Medical College Hospital for medical attention.

Following the incident, District Superintendent of Police Ashish Rawat and Orathanadu ASP Sagunas personally investigated the case. Orathanadu area falls under the jurisdiction of Pappanadu police circle.

Sexual Crimes in Thanjavur

Thanjavur has recently come into the limelight for disturbing cases of sexual abuse. Last month, Victor James Raja (35) from Poondi Thoppu was given a life sentence by a special court under the POCSO Act for sexually abusing children and distributing child pornography online.

The CBI, which used Interpol’s ICSE database to combat online child sexual exploitation, discovered Raja’s activities during its investigation. The CBI consulted the ICSE database, which India had recently joined, conducted searches in Thanjavur and found incriminating electronic evidence at Raja’s residence.
