The DMK moved the Supreme Court seeking directions to restrain TVK leaders, including Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay, from making public statements or false accusations over the Karur stampede. The plea also claimed several accused later became Tamil Nadu ministers after the 2026 Assembly elections.
The Madras High Court will examine four election petitions challenging Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay’s victory from the Perambur Assembly constituency. While the petitions place his election under judicial scrutiny, Vijay continues to hold office unless the High Court sets aside his election.
