The attack triggered widespread outrage across the state.<\/p>\n<p>Police said the accused were arrested after an encounter in which all three sustained bullet injuries to their legs. Seven special teams were formed to track them down following massive public anger. Both the victim and her friend remain hospitalised.<\/p>\n<p>The brutal assault has sent shock waves through Tamil Nadu, with opposition parties and civil society denouncing the DMK government\u2019s failure to ensure basic safety for women. AIADMK chief Edappadi K Palaniswami said that the incident reflected the complete breakdown of women\u2019s security under Chief Minister MK Stalin\u2019s rule, contrasting it with the \u201csafe environment\u201d under the previous AIADMK regime.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts say the incident reflects a broader collapse of India\u2019s social and moral fabric, where crimes against women remain rampant despite loud official claims of progress and modernisation. For many, the Coimbatore assault is another chilling reminder that women\u2019s safety in India continues to be sacrificed at the altar of political apathy and impunity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chandigarh: India\u2019s deepening crisis of women\u2019s safety came into grim focus again after a 19-year-old college student was brutally sexually assaulted near Coimbatore airport, exposing the alarming deterioration of law and order under in Tamil Nadu and rest of India.
