Madras high court has expressed dissatisfaction over the investigation into the unprovoked attack by a gang on the residents of Perumpathu in Tirunelveli district
The court granted bail to him with conditions and directed him to stay in Tirupur and report before the Tirupur Central police station daily at 10.30am. Justice B Pugalendhi observed, “Two innocent persons have been done to death and one of them is a migrant worker from Odisha and four others have been brutally attacked, resulting in grievous injuries. Since the occurrence had taken place just prior to the notification for the assembly elections in Tamil Nadu, this incident was projected throughout the state as if there was no law and order in the state. From the materials collected by the investigating agency, the court could not find out the real reason for the incident and even the reasons projected by the investigating agency, are illogical and not supported by any materials, the judge observed. The court passed the order while hearing the bail petition filed by Ganesh Pandy, who was named as the 11th accused in the case.
