The CBI questioned actor and TVK chief Vijay for over seven hours at its headquarters on Sunday over last year's stampede during his rally in Tamil Nadu's Karur that claimed 41 lives.

Vijay left the agency headquarters after the questioning and related formalities got over around 6 pm.

This was the third session of questioning for Vijay, who has been examined twice in January.

The central probe agency has also asked the DMK MLA from Karur, Senthil Balaji, to appear before it for questioning on March 17.

The CBI took over the case from an SIT following a Supreme Court order and has been gathering evidence related to the September 27, 2025, stampede that claimed 41 lives and left more than 60 people injured.
