Karur Stampede: Over 115 Days On, TVK Chief Vijay Faces Heat From Central Probe Into Tragedy

This special report from India Today examines the aftermath of the deadly Karur Stampede of September 27th, 2025, which resulted in dozens of deaths and over a hundred injuries. The focus is on the ongoing central probe faced by TVK chief Vijay, whose political rally turned into a catastrophe. The report details how the venue, built for 10,000, was packed with nearly 27,000 people, and a six-hour delay in Vijay's arrival led to a fatal surge. As the narrator states, the incident is 'a test of accountability and a search for answers for the lives lost'. The tragedy has since escalated into a political battle, with Vijay alleging a conspiracy by the DMK government, and the Supreme Court ordering a CBI investigation despite opposition from Chief Minister Stalin's government.
