The Karur stampede in Tamil Nadu has left 40 people dead, including 10 minors, with over 100 injured. The tragedy occurred during a rally held by actor-turned-politician Vijay for his TVK party ahead of the 2026 Tamil Nadu state elections. Heart-wrenching visuals have emerged, including a father cradling his son’s lifeless body and a speech- and hearing-impaired mother lying devastated beside her deceased child.
Among the victims was 2-year-old Dhruva Vishnu, now the haunting face of the tragedy. As grief engulfs families, political blame games intensify. While FIRs have been filed against lower-level party organizers, Vijay himself has not been named – a move some analysts say is driven by political caution. A judicial probe has been launched, and Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is visiting Karur on PM Modi’s directive to meet the victims’ families.
