New Delhi: The Supreme Court pronounced orders on the petitions filed by actor-politician Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party seeking an independent investigation into the Karur stampede today at 10.30 am.
A Bench of Justices J.K. Maheshwari and N.V. Anjaria will pronounce the verdict on the pleas. Earlier on Friday (October 10, 2025), the top court, while reserving its orders, had questioned the Madras High Court for constituting a special investigation team (SIT) to probe the stampede and wondered how it had proceeded with the matter.
Karur Stampede
In Karur, an actor-politician rally led by Vijay became uncontrollable due to a huge delay in the actor’s arrival, officials reported. On Sunday, Tamil Nadu DGP G Venkataraman gave information saying that the arrival of the leader was announced by the party that Vijay belonged to, the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), at 12 noon on Saturday itself. Nonetheless, Vijay did not arrive at the location until 7:40 pm, more than seven hours afterwards, abandoning anyone who was present to wait in the scorching heat without enough food or water.
The rally would be a part of the Velicham Veliyeru (Let There Be Light) campaign organised by Vijay and would be held between 3 pm to 10 pm in Velusamypuram on the Karur-Erode highway. Although the event was scheduled for 13:10, the announcement on X (formerly Twitter) by TVK led to supporters beginning to flock at 11 am. People were gathered in great numbers and were waiting in silence when they knew that the leader would come several hours late.
