The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has issued a fresh summons to actor and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay, asking him to appear for questioning on March 10 in connection with the tragic Karur stampede case.
This development comes as part of the ongoing probe into the crowd crush that occurred on September 27, 2025, during a TVK political rally in Velusamypuram, Karur district, Tamil Nadu. The incident, triggered by a massive surge in the crowd amid a nearly seven-hour delay in Vijay’s arrival, resulted in 41 deaths and injuries to over 80–100 people, making it one of the deadliest political rally tragedies in the state.
Vijay has already appeared before the CBI multiple times in Delhi earlier this year. He was first questioned on January 12, 2026, and underwent a second round of grilling on January 19, 2026, lasting around six hours each time. During those sessions, the agency reportedly focused on issues like the prolonged delay, crowd control measures, and overall responsibility.
Officials confirmed to PTI that the latest summons is for further questioning as the probe continues, potentially ahead of decisions on filing a charge sheet.
