Vengaivayal water tank issue | Eight persons do not turn up for DNA test; three others give blood samples

The Hindu  

After eight persons did not turn up for DNA tests, blood samples were collected from the remaining three others on Tuesday, in connection with the case at Vengaivayal village in Pudukottai district in December last year, where faeces were found mixed in an overhead tank that supplied potable water to Adi Dravidar families. Last week, the Special Court for Exclusive Trial of Cases Registered under the SC/ST Act had issued an order to collect blood samples from 11 persons, including three women, to conduct the DNA tests in connection with the case. However, CB-CID sources said only three persons turned up on Tuesday at the Pudukottai Government Medical College Hospital and and gave their blood samples. The blood samples collected from the three would be sent through the Special Court to Chennai, where the DNA tests would be conducted, the sources added.
