The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has summoned Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) president Vijay for questioning on January 12 in New Delhi regarding the Karur stampede. The incident on September 27, 2025, resulted in 41 deaths and over 60 injuries during a TVK rally. The Supreme Court ordered the CBI probe, noting the need for an impartial investigation after initial police statements eroded public trust. The CBI has already questioned several TVK office bearers and is gathering evidence on crowd management and security lapses.
