TVK leaders Bussy Anand and CT Nirmal Kumar, named in the Karur stampede FIR that killed 41, told the Madras High Court allegations against them are “false” and “politically motivated.” Police, however, blame TVK’s mismanagement for the tragedy.
The Allahabad High Court has stayed the suspension of Sunil Dutt Sharma, principal of Lala Bapu Baijal Memorial Inter College, who attended a political rally while serving as a polling officer. Justice JJ Munir highlighted that Sharma’s presence at the rally, invited by a temple where he is a devotee, did not constitute active political campaigning.
