Chennai: Actor and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) president Vijay has personally met with the families of the 41 victims who lost their lives in the September 27th stampede at a party rally in Karur. The meeting, which took place at a star hotel in Pooncheri, near Mamallapuram, on Tuesday morning, marks the leader’s first in-person consolation to the grieving families more than a month after the tragic incident.

The stampede, which occurred during a “Thalapathy” Vijay campaign event, also left over a hundred people seriously injured. While political leaders from various parties visited Karur in the immediate aftermath, Vijay had initially connected with the victims via a video call on the night of the incident, promising a personal visit once police permission was secured.
