CBI Questions TVK Chief Vijay for Second Time in Karur Stampede Probe

Investigators weigh testimony under Supreme Court oversight to determine whether to file negligence charges.

Overview

  • Vijay spent roughly six hours at CBI headquarters in New Delhi on Monday, a week after a first session that also lasted more than six hours.
  • The second round pressed him on a reported seven-hour delay, crowd-control decisions, permissions, who organised the rally, and movement of his convoy and campaign vehicle.
  • Officials said no one has been given a clean chit, with individual liability to be assessed after analysing statements from Vijay, TVK leaders, police and the district administration.
  • The federal agency is probing the September 27, 2025 crowd crush in Karur that killed 41 people, an inquiry transferred from state police on a Supreme Court directive and monitored by a panel led by Justice Ajay Rastogi.
  • A senior TVK functionary said the party is cooperating and that Vijay has not received a fresh summons for Tuesday.
