Supreme Court Panel To Begin 3-Day Inspection Of Karur Stampede From December 1

A Supreme Court-appointed panel overseeing the Central Bureau of Investigation's probe into the Karur stampede in Tamil Nadu will begin on-ground inspections on December 1, sources told NDTV. The committee, led by retired Supreme Court judge Justice Ajay Rastogi, is scheduled to spend three days at the site of the incident and has prepared a checklist for scrutiny.

According to sources, the panel will examine every spot at ground zero, mapping the sequence of events that led to the deadly stampede during actor-turned-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) rally. The tragedy, which unfolded on October 12, claimed 41 lives and left more than 60 people injured.
