The Supreme Court on Thursday (October 30, 2025) asked a family member of Karur stampede victim, S. Prabhakaran, to approach the CBI after he made an urgent oral mentioning alleging Tamil Nadu Police officers and “political secretaries” are pressurising victims to withdraw their petitions in the apex court.

A Bench headed by Justice J.K. Maheshwari asked Mr. Prabhakaran, represented by advocate Balaji Srinivasan, to apply to the CBI, to which the Supreme Court had transferred the investigation of the Karur stampede case.
