Karur stampede: SC accepts plea for CBI probe; Madras HC had earlier rejected one
The Supreme Court will hear a plea challenging the Madras High Court's dismissal of a CBI probe into the Karur stampede during actor Vijay's rally. The high court cited jurisdictional issues, while the petitioner argued the Tamil Nadu DGP's statements precluded an impartial state investigation. An NDA fact-finding team deemed the tragedy preventable due to negligence.
