- During earlier sessions, investigators questioned relatives of victims, injured persons, ambulance staff, doctors, Karur officials, senior police, and nine police personnel, as per sources.
- On September 27, 2025, the human toll included 41 fatalities and more than 60 injured, as investigators continue reconstructing events at Vijay's Karur rally.
