Karur: The death toll from the devastating stampede at actor-politician Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) campaign rally in Karur has risen to 41 after a woman succumbed to her injuries. Her relatives later found she had been admitted to the Karur Government Hospital’s intensive care unit but could not be saved despite treatment. The tragedy struck on Saturday evening at Velayudhampalayam, where thousands had gathered to hear Vijay speak. Witnesses said the crowd swelled beyond capacity, and as people pushed forward to catch a glimpse of the TVK leader, chaos erupted. Emergency services struggled to move victims to hospitals, and ambulances were pressed into service through the night.
