TVK chief and actor Vijay on Tuesday left the Central Bureau of Investigation headquarters in New Delhi after nearly six hours of questioning in connection with the Karur stampede case.
According to officials, the CBI conducted a second round of questioning of Vijay at its Lodhi Road headquarters on Monday as part of its ongoing probe. The actor arrived at the agency office in the morning in a convoy of luxury sport utility vehicles.
He was questioned throughout the day by a team of CBI officials led by an officer of the deputy superintendent rank from the agency’s anti corruption wing, the officials said. Vijay had earlier appeared before the CBI on January 12, when he was questioned for more than six hours.
The agency had asked him to appear again on January 13, but Vijay sought another date citing the Pongal festival. The CBI accepted his request and rescheduled the questioning for Monday.
During the examination, investigators questioned him on multiple aspects related to the event, including decision making behind the rally, reasons for his late arrival, continuation of his speech, his awareness of the chaos at the venue, the size of the crowd and alleged lapses in crowd management.
