Coimbatore: Actor-politician Kamal Haasan on Friday met the parents of a seven-year-old girl, who was sexually assaulted and killed near here recently, and said such incidents showed that Tamil Nadu was not a safe place.

The Makkal Neethi Maiam chief said the government should make efforts to bring the culprits to book. "If a child is not able to play some 20 feet from home, it is not a safe Tamil Nadu..," Haasan said. A party release said Haasan met the rural superintendent of police R Pandiarajan and wanted the culprits to be arrested.
