The All India Democratic Woman's Association (AIDWA) has sought a CB-CID probe into the sexual assault of a Dalit scholar at IIT-Madras. The woman's organisation in a statement on Sunday said that there were several irregularities in the police probe that had taken place on the complaint filed by the Dalit woman scholar.

The AIDWA in the statement said that even though the victim had mentioned sexual assault by the accused in the complaint lodged in 2021, the FIR did not include sections for rape and SC/ST Act even after the victim being a Dalit scholar.
