Chennai: TVK chief Vijay on Monday left for Delhi to appear before the CBI in connection with the Karur stampede case, and his party has requested police authorities in the national capital to ensure the security of its founder-leader.
Complying with the summons issued to him, Vijay will appear before the authorities for questioning at the CBI headquarters.
He departed from Chennai at 7 am by a chartered flight, party sources said.
The central probe agency has already questioned several office bearers of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam as part of the investigation.
The CBI took over the probe from a Special Investigation Team following a Supreme Court order.
The agency has since been collecting evidence related to the stampede that occurred during a political meeting addressed by Vijay on September 27, 2025, in Karur, Tamil Nadu. The incident left 41 people dead and more than 60 injured.
