The Madras High Court on Friday, October 3, declined to order a CBI probe into the tragic stampede at actor-turned-politician Vijay’s rally in Karur, which claimed 41 lives, Bar and Bench reported. A Bench of Justices M Dhandapani and M Jothiraman noted that the Tamil Nadu Police investigation is still in its early stages and highlighted that the petitioners seeking a central probe were not directly affected by the incident. Taking note of the state government’s assurance, the Court recorded that no political rallies or meetings will be permitted on state or national highways until Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are put in place. It also directed the government and political parties to ensure basic amenities, such as drinking water, sanitation, escape routes, and parking, are mandatorily arranged at all future gatherings, even at designated venues. Vijay Tamil Nadu Tour Suspended: TVK Suspends Actor-Politician’s Statewide Tour After 41 Killed in Karur Stampede, New Schedule To Be Announced Soon.
