Annamalai Alleges Cover-Up in Anna University Assault Case
After a man was sentenced in the Anna University assault case, a political figure named Annamalai said that other people, including police and a DMK leader, might have helped cover up the crime.
He pointed to phone calls made by the accused after the assault, suggesting some evidence might have been hidden.
Annamalai wondered why the accused was let go and then arrested again on the same day.
Public Prosecutor Mary Jeyanthi, however, stated that the conviction was based on clear evidence and only one person was guilty.
Basically, one person claims there was more to the story, and another person says the case was properly investigated.

He highlighted calls between the accused, a police inspector, and a DMK functionary following the crime.
