TVK chief Vijay was spotted leaving Trichy airport hours after a deadly stampede at his Karur rally killed 31 people and injured dozens more. The tragedy occurred when massive crowds triggered panic during his political campaign on September 27. Video footage showed Vijay exiting a black SUV at the airport as people crowded around him. The stampede began when attendees started fainting due to overcrowding, forcing Vijay to halt his speech and call for ambulances. Former Tamil Nadu Minister V Senthil Balaji confirmed 46 people were hospitalized in private facilities and 12 in government hospitals. Prime Minister Modi and President Murmu expressed condolences to bereaved families, calling the incident "deeply saddening."
