Chennai: The CB-CID has been entrusted with the investigation and tracing of a Tamil Nadu environmental activist Mugilan alias Shanmugham. Mugilan went missing on February 15
shortly after he claimed involvement of senior police officers in the police firing at anti-Sterlite
protesters at Tuticorin on May 22 and 23 last year which claimed the lives of 13 people.

The state government has ordered CB-CID probe following repeated pleas by activists and political
parties to trace the missing activist.

Chennai: The Madras high court on Friday directed the Egmore police to file a status report on the action taken pursuant to a complaint seeking to trace anti-Sterlite activist Mugilan, who has been allegedly missing since February 15.

A division bench of Justice M Sathyanarayanan and Justice M Nirmal Kumar passed the interim order on the habeas corpus petition moved by human rights activist Henri Tiphange seeking a direction to the Tamil Nadu police to trace and produce the anti-Sterlite activist.
