The three accused broke the glass window with a stone and opened the car door. They attacked the boy and took the victim to another spot and assaulted her, the police said.
The senior police officers inspected the crime scene in the early hours of Monday, November 3, and a seven-member special investigation team has been formed.
The incident occurred when Tamil Nadu was already witnessing a growing public concern over sexual assault against women.
BJP leader K Annamalai called the Coimbatore incident “utterly shocking” and wrote on X, “Since the DMK government came to power in Tamil Nadu, such repeated crimes against women clearly show that anti-social elements have no fear whatsoever of the law or the police. From DMK ministers to law enforcement personnel, there is a clear tendency to protect sexual offenders”.

“Instead of using the police to ensure public safety or maintain law and order, the DMK government employs them solely to arrest critics of the regime, leaving Tamil Nadu in a state of utter disgrace today,” he added. “Chief Minister MK Stalin, who also holds charge of the police force, should ‘hang his head in shame”, he wrote.
