Sandalwood encounter exposed |
Rights activists and Tamil Nadu politicians clamored for a judicial inquiry into the gunning down of 20 woodcutters in the Seshachalam forest. A laborer called Sekar from Murugapandi village in Tiruvannamalai made a damning assertion that he was the lone survivor among a group of eight men who were picked up by the Andhra police from a bus near the state border on April 6. Several villages in Tiruvannamalai and Vellore districts, from where a majority of the slain men hailed, are abuzz with the story of Sekar`s narrow escape.
