The Madras high court on Thursday said the case of sexual assault of an engineering student at Anna University last month was being politicised, with those protesting lacking any genuine concerns for women's safety.

CHENNAI:

Justice P Velmurugan said that instead of treating the incident as a wake-up call to focus on crimes against women, the issue was being politicised. He further criticised the media for conducting a "media trial".

The court made the comments when advocate K Balu mentioned a case regarding denial of permission for protest by the women's wing of the Pattali Makkal Karchi (PMK) party against the December 23 case.

Remarking that the protests will not help the case, the judge said that political parties in the state were organizing protests merely for media attention.
