The CBI has asked actor and TVK chief Vijay to appear before it on March 15 in New Delhi in the Karur stampede case, officials said on Tuesday (March 10, 2026).
The agency, which questioned Vijay twice in January, had again summoned the actor on March 9, but he had requested that it be deferred by 15 days, they said.
The actor had also urged that the questioning be conducted in Chennai or any office in Tamil Nadu, citing political engagements due to upcoming Assembly elections in the State, they said.
