Chennai: State Congress president E.V.K.S. Elangovan on Monday demanded CBI probe in to the popular ongoing granite quarry scam, which took a dramatic twist with advocate commissioner U. Sagayam, IAS, unearthing skeletons of four persons, including a baby suspected to be victims of human sacrifice at Melur near Madurai on Sunday.
Elangovan who insisted that skeletons recovered from Madurai be sent to Hyderabad and Bengaluru as justice will not be done if forensic examination of the remains was done at Chennai, also demanded a special investigation team (SIT) probe into the scam for truth to be uncovered.
Accusing the state police of protecting PRP Granites owner Palanisamy instead of thoroughly investigating the human sacrifice and mining charges, Elangovan wondered who the AIADMK regime was trying to protect. Seeking a white paper on the alleged human sacrifice and mining scam, the state Congress president told reporters at Sathyamurthy Bhavan that the high court should intervene and take appropriate steps to make public the truth if the state government does not cooperate. The TNCC chief also remarked that if the alleged human sacrifices were proved to be true, then it would put the entire state to shame.
