The Karur Tragedy, Judicial Verdict: Why Was a CBI Investigation Not Possible?
Yesterday's news about the Karur incident was truly regrettable. 😢 Many were likely surprised to hear that the Madras High Court dismissed a petition requesting an investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). What reasons led to this decision? Let's explore the details together.
Hello! ✋
Everyone has heard about the recent unfortunate incident in Karur, haven't they?
I was also very interested upon hearing the news. Several petitions were filed regarding this incident, and the fact that a petition urging an investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) was not accepted by the Madras High Court has sparked much curiosity.
The Madras High Court's Decision
On Friday, October 3, 2025, the Madras High Court heard a series of petitions related to the Karur accident.
The court dismissed the petition specifically seeking a directive for the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to conduct an investigation into this case. 😔
Furthermore, the verdict also dismissed petitions seeking to prohibit or restrict further rallies or gatherings by actor-turned-politician Vijay and his party, Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK). This also included a request for the state police to issue related directives.
Why Was a CBI Investigation Not Undertaken?
So, why did the court opt for a different direction instead of a CBI investigation? Based solely on the currently available information, it is difficult to precisely ascertain the court's exact reasons for refusing a CBI investigation.
However, courts generally make decisions regarding the investigative authority by considering various complex factors, such as the nature of the case, the capabilities of existing investigative agencies, and the ease of evidence procurement. It is possible that other ongoing investigative procedures are in place, or it may have been determined that a CBI investigation was not strictly necessary.
