Gnanasekaran, accused in the 2024 Anna University sexual assault case, has been found guilty by a Mahila court in Chennai. The 51-year-old, who ran a biryani stall near the campus and had a criminal history of over 20 petty crimes, assaulted a 19-year-old student on December 23, 2024. The incident sparked massive protests and political uproar across Tamil Nadu. Students' groups and women’s rights organizations demanded justice and improved campus safety. Opposition parties accused the ruling DMK of negligence, citing photos of Gnanasekaran with DMK leaders. The court will announce the sentencing on June 2. (PC: PTI)
