Following the complaint, Deivaseyal has gone missing and has reportedly been absconding for the past week. Police say they are searching for him.

Meanwhile, AIADMK leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami has slammed the police, claiming they initially refused to register the FIR because the accused is a DMK member. He alleged that this delay allowed Deivaseyal to escape and avoid arrest.

A protest has been announced in Arakkonam by AIADMK leaders and supporters, demanding the DMK immediately suspend Deivaseyal and hold him accountable. They are also questioning the role of the police and accusing them of shielding the accused.

The case has triggered widespread outrage, with demands for justice and a thorough probe into the involvement of other political figures.
