CM Vijay has strongly condemned the killing of three Tamil men—Anthony Samy, John Rose Peter, and Kumar—who were shot dead by Karnataka forest officials in the Hanur taluk on the early morning of August 15. The actor rejected the explanation provided by the forest department regarding the incident.
Vijay has demanded an impartial, high-level inquiry into the shooting and urged authorities to take strict action against those responsible. He further called on the Karnataka government to provide adequate support to the victims' families and implement necessary measures to ensure that such incidents do not recur.
