The CBI has indicated that Vijay will need to return for further questioning to clarify additional queries. He had requested a rescheduling from Tuesday due to the Pongal festival, which the agency approved.
Vijay arrived in a black Range Rover, and heavy security was deployed around the CBI office to manage crowds and fans. Despite the measures, about 40 fans managed to approach the building for a glimpse of the actor-politician.
Other Individuals Questioned
The federal agency also questioned former Tamil Nadu ADG (Law and Order) S Davidson Devasirvatham and several TVK office bearers as part of the ongoing investigation.
The Karur stampede probe is under strict Supreme Court supervision. A three-member supervisory committee, headed by former Justice Ajay Rastogi, ensures impartiality and transparency. The court emphasized that the public must have faith in a fair investigation.
