DMK Turns to SC Panel and CBI After Withdrawing Anti-Vijay Petition

The DMK party has approached a Supreme Court-appointed panel and the CBI ahead of actor-politician Vijay's planned visit to Karur. The move came hours after the Supreme Court questioned the DMK's petition seeking restrictions on Vijay's speeches and public engagements. Facing scrutiny from the bench, the party chose to withdraw its petition rather than pursue it further. The developments are linked to the Karur stampede case from September 2025, which has become a flashpoint between the DMK and Vijay's political camp.
