Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay’s party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), on Sunday sought a CBI or Special Investigation Team inquiry into the Karur stampede that claimed 40 lives during the party’s rally on September 27.

A team of advocates, led by TVK’s advocates’ wing president S Arivazhagan, made a representation before Justice M Dhandapani at his residence on Greenways Road. They also urged the court to consider initiating suo motu proceedings into the incident.

TVK functionary Nirmal Kumar said the judge advised them to file a petition before the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court, which will hear the matter on Monday at 2.15 pm.
