CBI summons TVK chief Vijay for second questioning over Karur stampede

India's Central Bureau of Investigation has summoned Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay for a second round of questioning in the ongoing probe into the September 2025 Karur stampede, which killed 41 people during his political rally.

The CBI has summoned actor-turned-politician Vijay, leader of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), for another questioning session on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, related to the deadly stampede at his rally in Tamil Nadu's Karur district on September 27, 2025. The incident, which claimed 41 lives and injured 60 others, prompted a detailed CBI investigation following the Madras High Court's description of it as a 'huge man-made disaster.'

This follows Vijay's first appearance before the CBI in Delhi on January 12, 2026, after a summons issued on January 6. The probe examines rally organization, crowd management, Vijay's late arrival, and other factors amid unexpectedly high attendance of nearly 27,000 people.

The case remains a focal point in Tamil Nadu politics ahead of the 2026 assembly elections, with TVK under scrutiny as Vijay builds his platform. No further details on the latest summons or investigation outcomes have been disclosed.
