AIADMK chief Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Sunday raised a conspiracy angle behind the tragic stampede at actor Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam's (TVK) rally at Tamil Nadu’s Karur, which claimed the lives of 39 people. The former Chief Minister, who visited the venue after the incident and met the injured at the hospital, raised doubts about reports that ambulances were spotted rushing in even before the stampede began.

Edappadi K. Palaniswami, also known as EPS, said there were speculations that the lights went off at the venue before Vijay began his speech at the rally. “Shortly after Vijay started speaking, there was a scuffle. There are reports that the lights went out just after Vijay started speaking,” EPS told reporters.
