Hand over bodies of Thoothukudi firing victims to relatives, says HC

The Madras High Court on Tuesday directed the State government to complete post-mortem on the bodies of all of those who had died in police firing during protests against the Sterlite Copper smelter in Thoothukudi on May 22 and 23 and hand over the bodies to the family members at the earliest.
The First Division Bench of Chief Justice Indira Banerjee and Justice P.T. Asha issued the directive after it was informed that post-mortem was yet to be conducted on six out of the 13 bodies due to an interim order passed by another Division Bench on May 23 to preserve the dead bodies until further orders.
