The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has once again questioned Tamil actor Vijay in connection with the Karur stampede case, marking the second round of interrogation in the ongoing probe.
According to sources, the actor was summoned to provide further clarification regarding his role and presence during the event where a stampede occurred, leading to injuries and chaos among fans. The tragedy had taken place during a public gathering that witnessed an unexpectedly large crowd turnout.
CBI officials are reportedly examining the sequence of events, crowd management arrangements, and permissions granted for the programme. Investigators are also looking into whether adequate safety measures were in place and if negligence contributed to the incident.
Vijay cooperated fully with the investigating agency and answered all questions, sources said. His statement is considered crucial as the agency pieces together the timeline leading up to the stampede.
The case was handed over to the CBI following public outrage and demands for an impartial investigation. Authorities aim to fix responsibility and ensure accountability for the lapses that led to the tragic incident.
Further action will be taken after reviewing all statements and evidence collected so far.
