Vijay seeks 15-day extension to appear for CBI questioning again in Karur stampede case

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has issued a fresh summons to Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) president and actor Vijay for further questioning on March 15 in the Karur stampede case.

The TVK chief had earlier appeared before the agency at its Delhi headquarters on January 12 and 19. Then, the CBI had asked him to join the probe again on March 10, but he had sought a 15-day extension.

Agency sources said Karur MLA V. Senthilbalaji is expected to get his statement recorded on March 17. The CBI had earlier issued summons to him for appearance on March 9. However, the notice was not received by anyone at his office or residence. The summons was then sent to his official email address.
