Vijay left Chennai early in the morning on January 12, 2026, and flew to Delhi.
His party asked the police in Delhi to keep him safe while he was there.
The CBI has already talked to other people from Vijay's party about this accident.
The accident happened during a political meeting addressed by Vijay on September 27, 2025, where 41 people died and more than 100 were injured.
The Tamil Nadu Police blamed Vijay for the delay in arriving at the venue, but Vijay says the police did not manage the crowd well.

He traveled from Chennai to Delhi by a chartered flight, departing at 7 AM.
The TVK party requested the Delhi police to ensure full security for Vijay.
