Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister proposes harsher penalties for sexual offenses, including digital harassment.

Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister introduced two bills to increase penalties for sexual offenses and harassment against women, including through digital means. Harassment penalties are proposed to rise from three years and a Rs.10,000 fine to up to five years and Rs.100,000, with further increases for repeat offenses. The amendments follow a sexual assault case at Anna University and aim to deter such crimes.
