Karur Stampede Case: Supreme Court To Hear DMK’s Plea Seeking Curbs On CM Vijay, Ministers

New Delhi, Jul 6 (PTI) The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to list on July 7 a plea filed by the DMK alleging that ministers in the Tamil Nadu government were "actively influencing" witnesses in the CBI probe into last year's Karur stampede case.

A partial working day bench of Justices Ahsanuddin Amanullah and Sheel Nagu agreed to list the matter on Tuesday after senior advocate Huzefa Ahmadi, appearing for DMK Secretary RS Bharati, sought an urgent hearing.

The plea also seeks to restrain Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay, state minister Aadhav Arjuna and other accused people from making public statements on the case and to regulate their interaction with victims' families during the pendency of the CBI probe.
