Four people have been gored to death while watching and participating in Jallikattu or bull-taming in Tamil Nadu, but the political importance of the controversial tradition was driven home as both Chief Minister E Palaniswami and his deputy O Panneerselvam attended an event and offered brand new cars as gifts for the best performers. A teen spectator was gored to death while watching Jallikattu in Madurai yesterday; two more were gored to death today in Sivaganga and one in Tiruchirappalli.
