Leader of the Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin on Saturday (May 23, 2026) said that 30 major incidents of crime within 12 days of the new government assuming office had cast serious doubts on the State’s law and order situation.
“Within just 12 days of the new government assuming office, more than 30 major incidents — including sexual violence, ganja smuggling, rowdyism, unruly behaviour and excesses by ruling party members, and now the abduction and murder of a girl in [near] Coimbatore — have made headlines, casting serious doubts on the State’s law and order,” he said in a social media post.
He said those responsible for the abduction and murder of the minor girl should be swiftly brought to justice and punished, as the incident had sent shockwaves across the country.
“I urge the Chief Minister to accord top priority to maintaining law and order to ensure that no such incident takes place again,” he said.
