Overview

• Retired Justice Aruna Jagadeesan’s one‑member commission began on‑site inspections and hospital visits to reconstruct the sequence of events.
• The FIR names TVK’s V P Mathiyazhagan, Bussy Anand and CTR Nirmal Kumar under BNS sections including culpable homicide and endangering life, noting Vijay’s late arrival and time spent in his vehicle intensified the surge.
• Karur police arrested district secretary Mathiyazhagan, and detained Kasi Pounraj for allegedly sheltering him, while Anand and Nirmal Kumar sought anticipatory bail with a hearing expected on October 3.
• TVK petitioned the Madras High Court for a CBI or independent probe, as a separate plea asks the court to temporarily bar the party from holding rallies until inquiries conclude.
• Relief announced includes ₹20 lakh per bereaved family from Vijay/TVK, ₹10 lakh from the Tamil Nadu government and ₹2 lakh from the PM’s fund, with security checks at Vijay’s residence after a bomb threat found no explosives.
