MADURAI: NTK chief coordinator Seeman on Tuesday questioned the fairness of the CBI probe into the Karur stampede that occurred during a rally organised by the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) rally on September 27.

Speaking to reporters in Tirunelveli, Seeman said TVK president actor Vijay, who led the rally, should have been held responsible for the incident that left 41 people dead. He alleged that neither Vijay nor TVK campaign general secretary Aadhav Arjuna has been named in the FIR. He urged Chief Minister MK Stalin to clarify the government’s position on the issue.

Seeman alleged that the CBI was going slow on Vijay due to political considerations. “If Vijay had not aligned with the BJP, the CBI probe would have intensified. The agency appears to be shielding him,” he said.
