DMK Seeks Safeguards From Supervisory Committee, CBI Ahead of Vijay's Karur Visit
Allegations of witness tampering by a minister raise concerns about justice and abuse of power.
The DMK has filed fresh representations with the Supreme Court-appointed Supervisory Committee and the CBI seeking safeguards for Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay's visit to Karur on Friday. The party alleges that a PWD Minister's speech could influence witnesses in the ongoing investigation into the September 2025 stampede, prompting requests for action against him. The DMK also seeks safeguards for Vijay's proposed visit and the distribution of government benefits, urging the CBI to monitor the Chief Minister's activities and consider further legal action against the minister. The party maintains that any political statements or distribution of government benefits could influence witnesses in the ongoing investigation.
