India, Oct. 14 -- The Supreme Court (SC) on Monday ordered a CBI probe into the Karur stampede in which 41 people were killed.
In its order on a plea by actor-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) for an independent probe, the court also set up a three-member supervisory committee headed by former SC judge Ajay Rastogi to monitor the CBI investigation.
Suspending the directions for the appointment of SIT and a one-man enquiry commission, the court also criticised Justice N Senthilkumar of the Madras HC for entertaining petitions on incident, ordering an SIT probe and making observations against TVK and it members without making them a party to the case.
