\nWhile ordering a CBI probe on October 26, the Supreme Court pointed out that public confidence had taken a hit after senior Tamil Nadu police officers came out in defence of their colleagues. The court said the situation highlighted the urgent need for an impartial, independent and unbiased investigation to reassure people and restore trust in the criminal justice system. For the unaware, the case was handed over to the CBI by the Supreme Court on a petition filed by Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) for an independent probe.\n
