CBI interrogated actor-leader Vijay for 7 hours in Karur stampede case, denied TVK’s role
Actor-politician and TVK chief Vijay was questioned for over seven hours in Delhi by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with the September 27 Karur stampede. According to sources, Vijay claimed that his party officials were not responsible and placed the blame for the tragedy. He reportedly said that ‘it was the responsibility of the Tamil Nadu Police to maintain law and order, but they failed to perform their duty properly.’ The CBI is now analyzing his statements along with other party members and police officials and corroborating them with video evidence. The questioning also focused on the seven-hour delay in his arrival at the venue and why he continued with his speech despite clear signs of chaos in the crowd. This comes at a time when Vijay is also facing legal hurdles with his film ‘Jannanayagan’, leading to stories of him being targeted by central agencies.

Young voter engagement and their likelihood of participating in elections has been questioned, highlighting generational feelings of hopelessness and despair about Mumbai’s civic challenges.

Meghna Pant on Mumbai elections: ‘We need problem solving, not just politics’
Ahead of the Mumbai civic elections, in this special report, writer Meghna Pant and comedian Aditi Mittal discuss the city’s pressing concerns. Pant makes a strong case for ‘boring, relentless, technocratic governance’ to deal with core issues such as bad drains, poor air quality and women’s safety. He argues that citizens deserve a city where they can not only survive, but thrive. ‘We need to stop all this noise,’ Pant says, urging a shift from slogans to data. In an ironic paradox, Aditi Mittal highlighted voters’ frustrations and joked that she supports parties with big posters that hide the city’s garbage and crumbling buildings. She sarcastically says that through political horse-trading, voters will ‘turn into donkeys.’ Discussion includes the need for accountability of politicians on civil emergencies including urban flooding, shrinking green spaces and traffic.
