Chennai: The Madras High Court on Friday rejected BJP leader Uma Anandan's plea for a CBI probe into the September 27 Karur stampede at actor-politician Vijay's public rally in that killed 41 persons.
She had moved the court saying there were many questions, including possible official apathy behind the fatal incident.
A division bench, while rejecting the plea, asked the petitioner to approach the Madurai bench of the High Court, the jurisdictional court.
