DMK working president M.K. Stalin expressed deep grief and indignation on March 10, 2018, following the horrifying public murder of college student Ashwini in Chennai, occurring merely a day after International Women's Day celebrations. Stalin condemned the tragic crime as an agonizing indictment of systemic police negligence, pointing out that Ashwini had previously lodged formal harassment complaints against the stalker. He emphasized that prompt and decisive police intervention at that stage could have prevented her death.

Stalin highlighted that the victim's mortal remains stood as tragic proof of administrative indifference toward women's safety. He criticized the home department for failing to establish responsive mechanisms that treat harassment petitions with urgent seriousness. Stalin stressed that public assurances regarding female security sound hollow when vulnerable young women cannot rely on timely police protection against documented threats.

The DMK leader demanded fast-track judicial proceedings to award exemplary punishment to the perpetrator. He called upon the government to institute transparent protocols for handling stalker grievances, ensuring round-the-clock surveillance around colleges. Stalin affirmed that the DMK will persistently fight for women's dignity, safety, and institutional justice throughout Tamil Nadu.
