DMK Alleges Witness Tampering in Karur Stampede Probe

The DMK maintains that the accusations leveled against them by the TVK are fabricated, pointing the finger instead at the party’s leader, Vijay. According to Annadurai, Vijay’s delayed arrival at the venue and his decision to ignore explicit police warnings were the primary catalysts for the fatal crush. The investigation, which transitioned from local Tamil Nadu Police to the Central Bureau of Investigation following a Supreme Court mandate, now faces new complications as Arjuna himself is listed as an accused in the case.

Annadurai expressed deep concern that the families of the victims, who serve as crucial eyewitnesses, are being subjected to undue pressure by the TVK’s public narrative. The DMK alleges that these tactics are a byproduct of political frustration and plans to petition the Supreme Court to intervene. They are seeking measures to prevent further interference, citing fears that upcoming activities planned by the TVK leadership could jeopardize the integrity of the ongoing judicial process.
