2018 TN firing: SC stays HC order for probe into assets of officials

Hindustan Times  

The Supreme Court on Friday stayed a July 15 order by the Madras high court that directed an investigation into the assets of police and revenue officials involved in the 2018 Thoothukudi firing, which resulted in the deaths of 13 people during protests against the Vedanta-owned Sterlite Copper plant in Tamil Nadu. Admitting the matter, the bench issued notice on the petition filed jointly by 17 police officials and stayed the high court order of a fresh inquiry against them. On July 15, the high court ordered a probe by the Tamil Nadu Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption into the assets of 21 officials named in the Justice Aruna Jagadeesan Commission’s report, which investigated the 2018 Thoothukudi firing and concluded that there were police excesses. Stating that it suspects that some police officials allowed the firing to occur in order to further their own agendas, the high court directed DVAC to submit a preliminary report detailing the assets of the officials, their spouses and close relatives within two weeks.
