The Madras high court on Friday took suo motu cognisance of the case in which a 19-year-old student was sexually assaulted inside the Anna University campus in Chennai earlier this week.
A division bench of justices SM Subramaniam and V Lakshminarayanan questioned how the FIR in the case was leaked. The court was hearing a batch of petitions seeking directions related to the investigation of the case. One of the petitioners is advocate Jayaprakash, who is also a member of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK).
