Vijay, actor and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief, has received a fresh summons from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to appear for questioning on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, at its New Delhi headquarters. This marks the third round of questioning for the actor-politician in connection with the Karur stampede case.\r\nVijay\'s legal team has submitted a written representation to the CBI seeking a 10-day reprieve from the scheduled appearance, but the agency has rejected the request. The CBI took over the investigation from a Special Investigation Team (SIT) following a Supreme Court directive, aiming to ensure an impartial and unbiased probe.\r\nThe agency has been collecting evidence related to the stampede that occurred on September 27, 2025, during Vijay\'s political rally in Karur, Tamil Nadu. The tragic incident resulted in 41 deaths and left over 60 people injured, sparking national scrutiny over crowd management at political events.\r\nThe Supreme Court had directed the CBI director to appoint a senior officer to lead the probe and established a supervisory committee headed by former Supreme Court judge Ajay Rastogi to oversee the investigation. The court emphasized restoring public faith in the criminal justice system through an impartial investigation.
