Karur stampede: Madras HC refuses urgent hearing of plea moved by BJP councillor seeking CBI probe

Madras High Court declined an urgent plea by BJP councillor Uma Anandhan for a CBI probe into the Karur stampede, citing jurisdiction issues. The petitioner argued that 41 deaths during actor Vijay’s road show warrant an impartial investigation, which is impossible given the TN DGP’s pre-determined statements.
