The Madras High Court has directed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the Karur TVK rally stampede that killed 41 people. Earlier, the Madurai bench had refused a CBI investigation, citing the State probe was still in early stages.
The Madras High Court urged the Tamil Nadu government to consider establishing an open-air jail exclusively for women. This proposal aims to provide a conducive and rehabilitative environment for female inmates, mirroring the benefits offered to male prisoners. The court’s directive came during the hearing of a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) challenging the existing rules.
