**DMK Accuses Petitioners of Misleading Supreme Court in Karur Stampede Case**

**CHENNAI, October 12, 2025** – The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has leveled serious accusations against individuals petitioning the Supreme Court for a CBI inquiry into the deadly stampede at a recent rally held by actor Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) in Karur.

DMK Organization Secretary R.S. Bharathi released a statement on Sunday claiming that petitioners are attempting to mislead the highest court in the country. The statement followed reports by a Tamil YouTube channel that interviewed a litigant who claimed to be unaware of the petition filed in his name. Additionally, a woman alleged that her estranged husband was now claiming to represent the interests of their child, who tragically died in the stampede.

“What has now come to light…is nothing short of an attempt to mislead the highest court of the land,” Bharathi stated in a post on X. He further alleged that one petition appears to have been filed in the name of a person not truly representative of the deceased, and the other by an individual misled into signing documents without fully understanding them.

The DMK has denounced this as a calculated political act. They are urging the Supreme Court to investigate what they perceive as a “brazen fraud” on the court and to hold those responsible accountable. The party asserts that the petitioners are attempting to exploit a tragic event for political gain.

The Supreme Court has yet to comment on the allegations. The case is likely to further inflame political tensions in Tamil Nadu, particularly in the lead-up to the upcoming Assembly Elections.
