At a rally organized by actor Vijay in the Karur district of Tamil Nadu, 36 deaths were reported, including eight children and 16 women, and over 50 injured. The rally took place as part of his party's electoral campaign, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, which targets the 2026 elections. Images showed an overwhelming crowd around the campaign vehicle, and Vijay called for police assistance. Chief Minister MK Stalin announced compensation for the victims' families and initiated an investigation. This incident is not isolated, as Vijay's rallies have faced similar issues in the past.
