**AIADMK Leader Alleges Sabotage in Deadly Karur Incident, Demands CBI Inquiry**

**NAMAKKAL, INDIA – October 8, 2025** – Edappadi K. Palaniswami, general secretary of the AIADMK and former Chief Minister, has alleged that the recent tragedy in Karur, which claimed the lives of 41 people, may have been a deliberate act of sabotage aimed at disrupting an AIADMK public meeting. Palaniswami made the accusations during a campaign stop in Tiruchengode and Kumarapalayam on Wednesday.

“Reports suggest that the disturbance was intentionally created to hinder the event,” Palaniswami stated, questioning the government’s motives in their handling of the aftermath. He criticized the government’s quick formation of an investigative committee, suggesting it was an attempt to preempt a court-appointed inquiry.

Palaniswami further accused the government of influencing officials, including senior police officers, to propagate a “scripted story” to cover up administrative failures and police negligence. He reiterated his demand for a CBI inquiry into the incident, arguing that an internal police investigation would not be impartial.

“How can the police investigate themselves? Justice must be ensured,” Palaniswami emphasized. He highlighted the upcoming Supreme Court hearing on October 10th, urging that those responsible for the tragedy and any potential conspiracy be brought to justice. The AIADMK leader’s remarks add a new layer of controversy to the already sensitive issue, raising serious questions about the circumstances surrounding the Karur incident.
