The Director of National Commission for Scheduled Castes, S. Ravivarman, on Tuesday said Adi-Dravidar residents of Vengaivayal, Dalit organisations and political parties wanted a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the case of mixing of faeces in the overhead water tank at the village that supplied drinking water to the Dalit families.
The incident was reported in December 2022 and is being probed by the Crime Branch CID for more than a year now after it was transferred to them from the Pudukottai District Police.
Mr. Ravivarman conducted an inquiry at Vengaivayal in connection with the case and spoke to the affected Adi Dravidar families. Mr. Ravivarman, who spent nearly an hour at the village, inspected the overhead water tank which had been shut and barricaded.
