Kallakurichi hooch tragedy: Madras High Court grants time till July 3 for State to file status report on CB-CID probe
Two litigants, who have filed PIL petitions asking for a CBI probe, complained that hooch tragedies have been recurring in the State at regular intervals because of “shoddy” investigations done by the T.N. police
The Madras High Court extended the Tamil Nadu government's deadline to July 3 to submit a report on the Kallakurichi hooch tragedy, where 61 deaths occurred. The court responded to petitions seeking a CBI probe. The Advocate General defended the state's Crime Branch-CID's investigation, while petitioners criticized past failures in handling such incidents, urging better accountability.
