Actor checks into Taj Palace hotel

Reports suggest that Vijay landed in New Delhi earlier and later checked into the well-known Taj Palace Hotel in the city.



Shortly after his arrival, videos of the actor’s car reaching the hotel began circulating widely on social media platforms. The third round of questioning is expected to take place on Sunday, March 15, 2026.

Earlier request for delay rejected by CBI

Earlier this month, Vijay had been asked to appear before the CBI team on March 10, 2026. However, the actor reportedly requested additional time before attending the interrogation.

According to reports, Vijay initially asked for 15 days to appear before the investigation team and the request was not accepted by the agency. Later, the investigation team decided to grant him a shorter extension. Vijay was reportedly given five days to present himself for questioning.

Following this development, the actor has now travelled to New Delhi for the third round of interrogation in the case.
