Monday saw actor Vijay, now leading a political group called TVK, sit through questioning by India’s central investigative agency. Lasting well past six hours, the session focused on a deadly crowd crush in Karur where 41 people died. People close to the case say he rejected claims linking his team or members to what happened. The investigation continues without public updates.
Fear sat heavy on him, so Vijay said he stepped away before things spun further out of control. According to what came up in hours of questioning, staying felt like a spark waiting to ignite panic. His words held steady – no blame fell on TVK, nor any of its figures, just choices made under pressure. The night unraveled fast, yet he stood by his version without shifting fault.
Now looking into what was said, the CBI checks each word against what officers previously noted. Earlier, certain police figures pointed fingers at Vijay, saying his late arrival played a part. Echoes of that story came up again through TVK members when asked by investigators. Matching every detail takes time, but it moves forward piece by piece.
Heavy security during vijay’s cbi appearance
Early that day, Vijay showed up at the CBI’s main office in Delhi after landing on a private plane just past ten thirty. Security clamped down hard around the building – Delhi Police and federal forces lined the area, bracing for crowds of fans. By midmorning, roads nearby had slowed to a crawl.
A few fans showed up close to the CBI building, even with tight blockades in place. Once paperwork finished, officers from the Anti-Corruption team began speaking with Vijay – they’re leading the case.
Supreme Court Steps In Case Moved
A twist came when the Supreme Court stepped in, shifting the Karur stampie probe from the SIT to the CBI. Worries about politics creeping into the process sparked the move – top cops’ comments in early stages didn’t help calm things down.
Ahead of public concern, the top court formed a small oversight panel – led by ex-judge Justice Ajay Rastogi – to watch how the inquiry unfolds. Fairness matters here; that’s why neutrality was underlined throughout its creation.
Into the thick of things now, officials have brought in multiple TVK leaders for questioning. A fresh move sees a call go out to S Davidson Devasirvatham – once top cop for law and order in Tamil Nadu. The probe rolls forward without pause.
About the Karur Stampede
A sudden crush unfolded at a crowded event where Vijay spoke, held in Karur on September 27, 2025. That day, under unclear conditions, forty-one individuals – some very young, some mothers – did not survive. Close to sixty more emerged with injuries after the chaos broke out. The gathering was part of a series of appearances organized by TVK across Tamil Nadu.
Folks on site claimed things got messy when too many showed up, some even passed out while ambulances wailed nearby after seven thirty. That’s when Vijay stopped talking for a bit.
Fifty thousand showed up, though the permit was for just ten thousand. The space covered about one hundred twenty thousand square feet. Officials counted heads afterward, surprised by the crowd size.
After the event, authorities filed charges against Mathiazhagan, the TVK district secretary, alongside party leader Bussy Anand and joint head CT Nirmal Kumar. These legal actions stem from multiple clauses in the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita – covering acts like causing death without intent to kill, dangerous conduct risking lives, and ignoring official directives. In addition, rules tied to the Tamil Nadu Public Property Damage Act came into play.
Vijay Announces Compensation
Heavy sadness sits on Vijay’s shoulders, he shared, speaking out after the disaster. Following the incident, money will go to affected families – twenty lakhs per lost life, two lakhs for anyone hurt. What comes next feels uncertain, yet steps are taken. Each amount meant to carry some relief, passed quietly without ceremony. Not words but actions now fill the silence left behind.
Families hurt by the event carry a sorrow words can’t fix, Vijay noted – TVK won’t leave them alone through it. Money cannot heal what’s broken, he emphasized, yet every form of help will come without delay.
