The incident soon came under attack by the Opposition. Tamil Nadu Opposition Leader Edappadi Palaniswami slammed CM Stalin for allegedly not ensuring law and order in the state.

On the alleged sexual assault on Anna University student on campus, BJP State Vice President Narayanan Thirupathy said, "The capital of Tamil Nadu is becoming a lawless city. This government has no control over law and order. We strongly condemn this. This is really shocking. A girl has been gang raped that too in Chennai."

"That is the state of law and order. This government has no excuse to say anything about this. Shame on this government, the Chief Minister and the departments. BJP strongly condemn this. Whoever has done this should be immediately arrested and justice to be done. See to it that the Anna University campus is secured and protected," he said.
