In an unfortunate incident, two young girls were sexually harassed near Coimbatore, resulting in the arrest of a Special Sub-Inspector of Police who was serving as an Assistant Investigator in the case.

Coimbatore’s Thudiyalur region witnessed this distressing incident as Durairaj (55), a Special Sub-Inspector of Police (SSI) working in the area, found himself in trouble. He is believed to have been involved in an inappropriate relationship with a woman, who is in an extramarital relationship with him. This woman has two daughters, aged 19 and 17. Both of them have been kept away from the public eye, confined to their home, and their movements restricted.
