Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam president Vijay calls for High Court monitored SIT probe into Vengaivayal case with human faeces in water tank.
Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam president Vijay on Sunday (January 26, 2025) sought a Madras High Court monitored Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into the 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.
In a social media post, he said there is nothing wrong in re-investigating a case if there are questions raised about the finidings of the probe. In Vengaivayal case, several concerns have been raised about persons who have been named as accused. Without any bias the case should be re-investigated to find real culprits involved in the incident and they should be punished.
The Crime Branch-Criminal Investigation Department (CB-CID), which is investigating the case, had delayed filing the charge sheet. A probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) would further delay the investigation, he said and sought the probe be conducted by a High Court monitored SIT to identity real criminals.
