What began as a celebratory moment after actor Thalapathy Vijay’s entry into politics turned into a tragic catastrophe. During TVK’s 38-district tour in Tamil Nadu, massive crowds gathered for Vijay’s ‘Meet the People’ rally in Karur on September 27. With Vijay arriving over six hours late, crowd pressure intensified. A microphone failure triggered the first surge as supporters moved closer, followed by a deadly crush when Vijay’s bus began to leave.
