He further said that he will flog himself 6 times tomorrow (on Friday) outside his Coimbatore residence to "take down all the evil". Adding that he will observe 48 hour fasting and will pray from Lord Murugan for the betterment and welfare of state.

The BJP had called the press conference to address the sexual assault incident that recently happened with a 19-year-old student at Anna University.

Questioning the intentions of the DMK government and state police, K Annamalai alleged that they intentionally "leaked" the FIR copy which revealed the identity of the victim.

Annamalai also targeted the state police for writing the FIR in a manner that shamed the victim.
