“It is somewhat alarming that the State through its police fired at unarmed protesters and no one is booked some three years after the incident,” the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court observed on Friday on the Thoothukudi police firing incident, in which 13 anti-Sterlite protesters were killed in May 2018.

தூத்துக்குடி துப்பாக்கிச்சூடு சம்பவத்தைப் போல இனியொரு சம்பவம் நடைபெறக் கூடாது என மதுரை உயர்நீதிமன்றக் கிளை தலைமை நீதிபதி தெரிவித்தார்.
Madurai/Chennai,Jun 25 (PTI) The Madras High Court on Friday made some strong remarks over the May 2018 police firing in Tuticorin, where 13 persons were killed during a violent anti-Sterlite agitation, asking "can we kill people and throw money at them and say our job is over. Is that the society that we want to build."
These were among the questions raised by Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee, now sitting at the Madurai bench, when the PIL petition from Henri Tiphagne, an activist, on the matter, came up for hearing today.
