The controversy surrounding the Karur stampede in Tamil Nadu reached the Supreme Court on Tuesday with an appeal being filed against a Madras High Court order refusing a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe.

The appeal filed by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Uma Anandan was mentioned before Chief Justice of India BR Gavai who agreed to list the case on October 10, Friday.

The stampede happened at a rally organised by the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party in Veluswamypuram on September 27 where party founder and actor Vijay was campaigning.

According to reports, the rally was permitted for about 10,000 people, but the turnout far exceeded that number, with estimates ranging between 25,000 to 60,000 people attending.
