CPI(M) demands CBI probe in Vengaivayal case where human faeces found in water tank, criticizes CB-CID investigation.
The Communist Party of India (Marxist), an ally of the ruling DMK, on Friday (January 24, 2025) demanded the probe in the 2022 Vengaivayal case, wherein human faeces was found in an overhead tank supplying water to the Scheduled Caste (SC) residents of the village in Pudukottai district, be transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
In a statement, the party’s State secretary P. Shanmugam said it is not acceptable that the Crime Branch-Criminal Investigation Department (CB-CID), which is investigating the case, had said in its charge-sheet that human faecal matter was mixed by the villagers themselves in the tank because of a rivalry.
He also said it is unfair to blame the members of the affected community, in an urgency to bring closure to the case, as the incident took place two years ago. To identify the real culprits, the State government should handover the case to the CBI, he added.
