An effigy of Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar was found garlanded with footwear in Coimbatore as a protest against the killing of three Tamils by Karnataka Forest Department officials on August 15, 2026.
Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar stated that no state should interfere in another state's administration amid calls from Tamil Nadu leaders for a CBI probe into the Hanur shootout.
Three suspected poachers were killed and one injured during a shootout inside Hanur Forest Range on August 15, with the Karnataka government defending the forest officials' actions.
