Vijay summoned again for Karur stampede questioning
Vijay, a famous actor and TVK chief, went to the CBI office in Delhi on Monday.
He was there because the CBI wants to ask him about a big accident that happened in Karur, Tamil Nadu, on September 27, 2025.
In that accident, 41 people died, and more than 60 were hurt.
Vijay arrived in a black car at 11:29 in the morning and was questioned for six hours.
He has been asked to come back on January 19 for more questions.
Vijay said he is busy with his film release and the Pongal festival, so he asked to change the date.
The CBI is also talking to other people, like police officers, about the accident.
Vijay, a prominent actor and TVK chief, appeared before the CBI for questioning on January 12, 2026.
The questioning is related to the Karur stampede that occurred on September 27, 2025, resulting in 41 deaths and over 60 injuries.
Vijay was summoned again for questioning on January 19, 2026, but requested a deferral due to prior commitments.
The CBI has questioned several TVK office bearers, Vijay's driver, and some police officers in the case.
The investigation into the stampede was transferred to the CBI after the Supreme Court ordered further investigation.
