The DMK on Sunday (October 12, 2025) said there was an attempt to mislead the Supreme Court by a couple of petitioners in the Karur stampede case. 

A Tamil YouTube channel had broadcast interviews with a litigant, who said he was unaware of the petition filed in his name. A woman said her husband, who had deserted her years ago, now moved the court for a CBI probe claiming to represent the interests of her child who died in the stampede at actor Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam rally last month.
