Скачать или смотреть Karur stampede: Families mourn victims as Vijay announces ₹20 lakh aid

Grief has engulfed Karur after the tragic stampede at actor-politician Vijay’s rally on Saturday evening claimed 40 lives.

Among the victims was 26-year-old Thamaraikannan from Dindigul, who had come to see his favourite actor but lost his life in the chaos. His family and community bid farewell as he was cremated.

Shankar Ganesh, a tailor from Dindigul, also died in the stampede. His wife, left with young children, appealed to the government for support.

In another heartbreaking case, a couple mourned their one-and-a-half-year-old son, Dhruvishnu, who would have turned two in December. He was lost in the crowd while being accompanied by his aunt.

On Sunday, Vijay’s party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) moved the Madras High Court’s Madurai Bench seeking a CBI or independent probe into the incident. Facing mounting criticism, Vijay announced ₹20 lakh compensation for each victim’s family and expressed deep sorrow over the tragedy.
