Following a deadly stampede at actor-politician Vijay's rally in Karur, visuals show a severely overcrowded venue with people pushing, panicking, and helping each other, amid cries for help. At least 39 people, including children, died in the tragedy. Questions are being raised about whether police-imposed restrictions were followed.
Eyewitnesses and local residents have expressed anger toward Vijay, blaming poor crowd control. Vijay has since returned to Chennai, avoiding media interaction and increasing security at his residence.
