It may be noted that a few days before human excreta was found in an overhead water tank that supply drinking water to a Dalit colony in Vengaivayal panchayath in Pudukottai district of the state. This has created a major uproar with Dalit political parties calling for demolishing the water tank and transferring the case to the CBI.

According to sources in Virudhunagar district, the operator of the water tank in which carcass of the dog was found was about to clean the tank on Monday when a rotten smell came up. The operator found the carcass of a dog in the water tank which was rotten.

The operator immediately reported the matter to the police and cops informed the District authorities who inspected the tank and sent it for postmortem.

Police sources in Virudhunagar district told BPNS that the dog might be killed by someone and put in the water tank.  A case has been registered and police have commenced an investigation into the dog carcass found in water tank.
