BJP State unit president Nainar Nagenthran on Wednesday (November 11, 2026) urged the Tamil Nadu government to constitute a Special Investigation Team under the CB-CID to trace a seven-year-old girl, Hemalatha, who was reported missing near Gingee in Villupuram district a month ago.

In a social media post, Mr. Nagenthran said the police and the CB-CID have failed to make a breakthrough in the case. He also pointed to an alleged attempt by unidentified persons travelling in an autorickshaw to abduct another seven-year-old girl near Gingee before it was thwarted after the child raised an alarm.

Mr. Nagenthran urged the government to intensify round-the-clock police patrolling in Gingee and neighbouring areas and install CCTV cameras at important junctions to strengthen public safety.
