Political Leaders Demand CBI Probe into Karnataka Border Shooting of Tamil Workers

The shooting that left three Tamil families dead on the Karnataka‑Tamil Nadu frontier has sparked a political outcry. Former chief minister K. Palaniswamy and other senior leaders have labeled the incident a "conspiracy" and urged the Central Bureau of Investigation to take charge. They argue that the families' claim of searching for cattle contradicts the department's narrative of deer poaching. Demands also include higher compensation than the five lakh rupees announced by Karnataka, a full medical cover for the injured, and a guaranteed government posting for a surviving family member.
