A tragic stampede occurred during a public rally held by Thalapathy Vijay and his party TVK in Karur, Tamil Nadu. The crowd far exceeded expectations, causing chaos and panic. Over 30 people, including six children and ten women, died.
More than 50 were injured, many critically, and several victims were rushed to nearby hospitals. Authorities fear the death toll could rise as they continue assessing the scene.
The stampede reportedly happened while Vijay was addressing the crowd. He tried to manage the situation by distributing water bottles and urging people to make way for ambulances. During the chaos, a nine-year-old girl went missing, prompting Vijay to seek help from his team.
Police used a lathi charge to control the crowd and rescue those who had fainted or were trapped. Despite these efforts, panic spread among attendees, worsening the situation.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has ordered an immediate investigation into the incident. Authorities are examining crowd management failures and event protocols.
The tragedy has drawn nationwide attention as it happened during a political event led by a superstar like Vijay, raising questions about safety measures at large gatherings.
