HC orders CBI to probe police firing during Sterlite protest
The Madras High Court on Tuesday ordered a CBI probe into the police firing during anti-Sterlite protests in Tuticorin on May 22, after hearing around 15 PILs demanding the CBI investigation. At least 13 protestors were killed in the firing when they were marching towards the District Collector's office to demand the closure of Vedanta's Sterlite Copper unit.
