High Court threatens to summon central government top officials

Justice N Kirubakaran, in continuation of the hearing related to the gangrape and murder of a 60-year-old mentally challenged woman on November 10, 2016, which included two juveniles on the file of the Madurai Bench, also directed the State Home Secretary, to answer the questions raised by August 1 and held that failure to abide by the direction will result in the Home Secretary being asked to appear in person. 

The judge, on observing that the land of spirituality and divinity is somehow getting damaged to be called as “land of rapes”, said, “Even toddlers or children are not spared by these brute beasts. Something basically is either wrong with the development of society or the psychology of man.”
