India — Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), the political party of actor Vijay, has moved the India — Supreme Court of India, challenging the India — Madras High Court's order to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the Karur stampede that killed 41 people. The TVK seeks an independent investigation, arguing that a probe by India — Tamil Nadu officers would not be impartial, and alleges a possible pre-planned conspiracy. The India — Madras High Court had criticized Vijay and India — Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam for their conduct after the tragedy. The India — Supreme Court of India has agreed to hear this plea, along with a separate appeal from India — Bharatiya Janata Party leader Uma Anandan seeking a United States — Federal Bureau of Investigation probe, on October 10.
