The AIADMK on Sunday asked the DMK government how the report of the Aruna Jagadeesan Commission, which probed the police firing on anti-Sterlite protesters in Thoothukudi in which 13 persons were killed in May 2018, was “leaked”.
Recently, The Frontline, a sister publication of The Hindu, had exposed how the commission in its report, submitted to the government in May, held certain police officers and the then Thoothukudi Collector responsible for the firing. The Hindu had independently verified the aspects flagged in the exposé. Later, a few other media organisations reported extracts from the report.
