In Chamarajanagar, violence erupted following an encounter involving poachers. The incident in Hanur has raised suspicions about the involvement of LTTE and Veerappan supporters. After the encounter of wildlife poachers, attacks were carried out on over eight anti-poaching forest camps. An organization called 'Tigers of Justice,' believed to be linked to LTTE chief Prabhakaran and Veerappan followers, is suspected to be active in the Hanur region. Authorities have placed the group's activities under surveillance through a social media monitoring cell. The organization is accused of inciting people on the basis of language, religion, and caste, claiming oppression of Tamil-speaking communities. Several provocative audio messages have gone viral on WhatsApp. Complaints have reportedly been filed with multiple authorities including the National Human Rights Commission, the Governor of Karnataka, and even the U.S. Secretary of State. The situation remains tense as officials monitor the activities of these groups.
