Actor Vijay’s party TVK has challenged the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision of voter rolls in the Supreme Court, calling it unconstitutional and arbitrary. The case is set to trigger a high-voltage political and legal battle in Tamil Nadu.
Tamil actor and TVK chief Vijay broke his silence on the Karur stampede, attacking CM MK Stalin for “peddling lies” and questioning the Madras High Court’s SIT order citing Supreme Court’s remarks. He said the 2026 polls would be a direct fight between “TVK and DMK.”
The Supreme Court has transferred the Karur stampede investigation to the CBI, forming a Special Investigation Team (SIT) led by a retired judge to oversee and ensure a transparent, fair, and impartial probe into the tragedy.
Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam told the Madras High Court that a police lathicharge caused the Karur stampede killing 41 people. The DMK government dismissed the claim as “baseless.”
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.
TVK’s Bushi Anand and CTR Nirmal Kumar approach Madras HC for anticipatory bail after Karur stampede killed 41. Leaders claim “the magnitude of the crowd was unexpected” and cite poor police deployment as main reason.
A Karur stampede victim has moved the Madras High Court to stop Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) and its leader Vijay from holding rallies until the tragedy is fully investigated and safety measures ensured. The plea cites gross mismanagement and violation of citizens’ right to life.
Vijay’s party TVK has urged the Madras High Court for an independent investigation into the Karur rally stampede that killed 39 and injured 95. The party alleges “conspiracies” behind the tragic incident and seeks a suo motu probe by an independent agency.
Tamizhaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), led by actor Vijay, has filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking a dedicated law to curb caste-related honour killings. The plea comes after the brutal murder of Dalit software engineer Kavin Selvaganesh in Tirunelveli.
Madras High Court Today (July 17) sent notice to actor Vijay and his party TVK over allegations of copying a flag design. A trust claims the flag is too similar to their registered symbol used for social services.
