Actor-turned-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) has approached the Madras High Court's Madurai Bench, requesting a CBI or Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into the Karur rally stampede that resulted in 40 deaths and over 60 injuries. The party alleges a conspiracy, citing incidents of stone-pelting and a police lathi-charge at the venue. The court is scheduled to hear the plea today. Simultaneously, Vijay's Chennai residence received a bomb threat, prompting a security sweep by the police, including the deployment of sniffer dogs and a bomb disposal squad. The investigation into the threat is ongoing.
