The Madras high court on Tuesday ordered a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the alleged custodial death of a 29-year-old temple security guard in Sivaganga district of Tamil Nadu, rejecting the state government's plea for “one last chance”.
The court stressed that the serious suspicion surrounding state officials warranted an independent investigation by the central agency.
A bench of justices SM Subra-maniam and AD Maria Clete of the Madurai bench of the high court directed CBI to complete its probe and file its report before the court by August 20.
