TVK Founder Vijay is embroiled in the Karur stampede case, with TVK asserting multiple lapses during the event. CBI questioning of Vijay has been postponed to accommodate his prior engagements, which include promoting his latest film 'Jana Nayagan' and participating in the Pongal festival.

Nirmal Kumar, TVK's General Secretary, returned from CBI's national headquarters after an extensive interrogation regarding the September 27 Karur incident. Official discrepancies in police deployment numbers have been highlighted, adding another layer to the ongoing investigation.

Meanwhile, Vijay faces a legal challenge in securing censor board certification for 'Jana Nayagan,' which is anticipated to hit theaters soon. TVK's politics remain under speculation, with alliances for the 2026 Assembly elections yet to be determined.
