TVK Chief Vijay Gets Third CBI Summons in Karur Stampede Case

0

Vijay, actor and chief of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), has received a fresh summons from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to appear for questioning on March 10, 2026, at the agency’s New Delhi headquarters.

Third Round of CBI Questioning

This will be the third round of questioning for Vijay in connection with the Karur stampede case. His legal team has submitted a written request to the CBI seeking a 10-day extension from the scheduled appearance.

Background of the Karur Stampede Case

The CBI took over the investigation from a Special Investigation Team (SIT) after directions from the Supreme Court of India.

The probe relates to a stampede that occurred on September 27, 2025, during Vijay’s political rally in Karur, Tamil Nadu. The tragic incident reportedly claimed 41 lives and injured more than 60 people.

Supreme Court’s Role in the Probe

Last October, the Supreme Court of India directed the CBI director to appoint a senior officer to lead the investigation.

The court also set up a supervisory committee headed by former Supreme Court judge Ajay Rastogi to oversee the probe into the Karur stampede case.

Manjummel Boys Director Chidambaram Gets Anticipatory Bail in Harassment Case

0

Chidambaram S. Poduval, director of the blockbuster Malayalam film Manjummel Boys, has been granted anticipatory bail by a Kerala court. The order was issued on March 7, 2026, by District Judge K.K. Balakrishnan of the Ernakulam Sessions Court.

Court’s Reasoning for Bail

While granting anticipatory bail, the court highlighted three key factors in favor of the director:

  • No necessity for custodial interrogation
  • Significant delay in filing the complaint
  • The director’s clean criminal record

These reasons played a crucial role in the court’s decision to grant bail.

Background of the Case

The Ernakulam South Police registered a case against Chidambaram on March 2, 2026, following a complaint filed by a woman working in the Malayalam film industry.

According to reports, the alleged incident dates back to 2022 and involves claims of inappropriate behaviour at an apartment in Kochi.

Defense Arguments

Chidambaram’s legal team argued that the allegations were professionally motivated. The defense claimed the complaint was part of a deliberate attempt to damage the director’s reputation after the massive success of Manjummel Boys.

Bail Conditions

Judge K.K. Balakrishnan granted the anticipatory bail under specific conditions. The director must cooperate with the ongoing investigation and appear before authorities when summoned.

Released in 2024, Manjummel Boys became one of the highest-grossing Malayalam films, earning widespread appreciation for its survival thriller story based on a true incident.
