A massive crowd at actor-tuned-politician Vijay’s rally in Karur, Tamil Nadu, turned tragic on Saturday (September 27), with a stampede claiming at least 38 lives, including eight children, and leaving over 46 injured.

Amid the chaos, videos from the event show Vijay making an urgent announcement on the microphone about a nine-year-old girl who had gone missing in the crowd.

In the clip, the actor can be heard appealing to the cadres and police for help in tracing the child as hundreds of fans and supporters struggled to move within the overcrowded venue.
