Hours after being questioned for over six hours by the Central Bureau of Investigation, actor-turned-politician Vijay, chief of TVK, was spotted by NDTV leaving his Delhi hotel without making any public statement. Sources say Vijay cooperated with investigators but placed responsibility for the Karur rally stampede, which killed 41 people, on the local administration, citing crowd management failures and delays. The CBI is expected to summon him again after the Pongal festival, even as political reactions intensify in Tamil Nadu and Vijay prepares to hold consultations with party leaders in Chennai.
