SC Flags 'Something Wrong' in Madras HC's Karur Stampede Case

• The Supreme Court flagged concerns about the Madras High Court’s handling of the Karur stampede case, observing "something wrong" was happening.
• The case relates to a September 27 stampede during actor-turned-politician Vijay's rally, which killed 41 people.
• The SC questioned the Madras HC's Chennai Bench for directing an SIT for a case under the Madurai Bench's jurisdiction.
• The Supreme Court had previously ordered a CBI probe into the stampede, which the Tamil Nadu government challenged.
• The Tamil Nadu government blamed the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party for the stampede, while TVK sought an independent investigation.
