Tamil Nadu police have accused actor-politician Vijay of a “deliberate display of political power” during his Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) rally in Karur, where 41 people died in a stampede. Police said Vijay’s delayed arrival, repeated unsanctioned halts, and crowd-pulling tactics aggravated the situation, overwhelming security arrangements. The event, already under scrutiny for safety lapses, turned deadly when ropes and barricades blocked escape routes. Authorities allege his team ignored guidelines and prioritized optics over safety. The tragedy has sparked political controversy, with critics questioning both Vijay’s responsibility and the administration’s preparedness.
