All
About
The
Karur
Stampede
Case
For
the
uninitiated,
the
unfortunate
tragedy
happened
on
September
27,
2025,
at
the
rally
conducted
by
the
political
party
TVK
Vijay,
at
the
Velusamypuram
locality
of
Karur,
Tamil
Nadu.
As
per
the
police
investigation
reports,
the
rally
had
over
27,000
participants,
while
the
arrangement
were
made
for
just
10,000
people.
Thalapathy
Vijay
was
supposed
to
join
the
rally
in
the
afternoon,
but
he
reached
Karur
after
a
seven-hour
delay.
According
to
the
police
chargesheet,
this
was
the
major
reason
why
the
crowd
went
out
of
control.
The
police
team
also
suggests
that
the
TVK
Vijay
team
failed
to
make
the
necessary
security
arrangements
to
handle
such
a
massive
crowd.
