SC: 'Something Wrong' with Madras HC in Karur Stampede Case

• Supreme Court stated "something is wrong with Madras High Court" after reviewing a report on the Karur stampede case.
• The Karur stampede on September 27, 2025, at an actor Vijay's TVK rally, resulted in 41 deaths and 60 injuries due to overcrowding.
• Madras High Court's Chennai bench ordered an SIT probe and criticized actor Vijay, who then challenged the decision in the Supreme Court.
• The Supreme Court ordered a CBI investigation into the stampede, overseen by retired Justice Ajay Rastogi, and questioned the Madras HC's jurisdiction.
• The Supreme Court rejected the Tamil Nadu government's plea to cancel the CBI probe and refused to modify its earlier decision.
