Actor-politician Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam has approached the Madras High Court seeking suo motu cognisance of the stampede that occurred during the party’s rally in Tamil Nadu’s Karur district on Saturday, Live Law reported. The party, in its petition, claimed that there were “some conspiracies” at play that led to the stampede. The case is likely to be taken up on Monday at the Madurai bench of the court, according to Live Law. At least 39 persons, including 16 women and eight children , were killed in the stampede at Vijay’s rally in Karur on Saturday. The stampede occurred shortly after 7.30 pm at the Veluchamy Puram area, where the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam chief was speaking from atop his campaign vehicle.
