A deadly stampede at TVK chief Vijay's political rally in Tamil Nadu's Karur killed 31 people and injured many others on September 27. The tragedy occurred due to massive overcrowding when thousands gathered for the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam leader's campaign event. Multiple attendees fainted after waiting hours in crowds, including children. Vijay paused his speech mid-way, requesting ambulance access and throwing water bottles to help. Social media users are demanding his arrest, drawing comparisons to previous incidents involving celebrities. Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin called the news "worrying" and deployed ministers for immediate assistance. The actor-politician ended his speech abruptly after sensing the stampede situation, but criticism continues mounting over crowd management failures and delayed response.
