It’s not just one person’s fault… Crowds gather in support of Thalapathy Vijay, fans create chaos outside CBI office!

Fans support Thalapathy Vijay: Tamil Nadu actor and political entrant Thalapathy Vijay arrived at the Central Bureau of Investigation office in Delhi this week. He came for a second round of questioning in the Karur stampede case. The incident in September 2025 claimed 41 lives. The case had gained significant attention when Vijay’s party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), held an election rally in Karur.

Not Just Vijay’s Fault
In support of Vijay, his fans gathered outside the CBI office from the morning. Many fans welcomed him with TVK flags and banners. They chanted slogans in favor of Thalapathy Vijay, stating that Vijay alone cannot be blamed for this incident. Some fans cited lapses in security and crowd indiscipline as the main reasons.

One fan said in a conversation, “Thalapathy sir is also saddened by this incident. You cannot blame only him. There was not enough police force at the event.” Another fan said that people who infiltrated the crowd were the real cause of the tragedy. Meanwhile, a third fan mentioned they had gotten a tattoo for Vijay and had missed the previous questioning session, so they came this time to show support.

The CBI is investigating to what extent delays in the event and lapses in security management were responsible for the tragedy. The key issue is the “7-hour gap.” The long interval between the scheduled start time of the event and Vijay’s actual arrival caused the crowd to swell from around 10,000 to nearly 30,000, leading to a loss of control. The CBI is currently investigating the security arrangements, police deployment, and the entire chain of events.

Security Was Lacking
During the investigation, the CBI questioned nine police personnel who were deployed for security at the time. They were asked about their deployment location, timing, and a sequential account of events. Additionally, family members of the deceased, the injured, ambulance drivers, doctors, and local residents were also part of the inquiry. This process aims to determine how much security lapses and event delays contributed to escalating the tragedy.

The CBI took charge of this case following a Supreme Court order, as the matter was beyond the control of the local police. The investigation has been ongoing in several phases over the past three months. The CBI has set up a temporary office in Karur, from where all interrogations and document analysis are being conducted. The aim of the investigation is to clarify that the responsibility for the tragedy does not lie with any single individual and that improvements in the security system are necessary.
