CBI Summons Vijay for Karur Stampede Case
A big crowd gathered for a rally by Vijay in Karur, but there wasn't enough space for everyone.
People got hurt and 41 people died because of the crush.
Vijay was late, and when he arrived, more people pushed to see him, making things worse.
The police had to use sticks to control the crowd.
The Supreme Court ordered the CBI to investigate what happened.
Now, the CBI wants to ask Vijay questions about the incident.
Vijay has announced compensation for the victims' families and the injured.
The CBI has also questioned other TVK leaders, and TVK leaders claim the tragedy was due to lapses by the state government.
CBI has summoned TVK chief Vijay for questioning in the Karur stampede case on January 12, 2026.
The stampede during Vijay's rally on September 27, 2025, resulted in 41 deaths and over 60 injuries.
The venue had a capacity of 10,000 but was overcrowded with nearly 30,000 people.
Vijay's delayed arrival and the subsequent crowd surge contributed to the tragedy.
The Supreme Court ordered a CBI investigation and appointed a monitoring committee headed by Justice Ajay Rastogi.
