The court also questioned why the state police had not registered criminal cases related to two accidents captured on video during the stampede. As reported by Bar and Bench, Justice N Senthilkumar remarked that the TVK leadership should have taken immediate action to assist and rescue victims during the tragedy. “It is really sad that Mr Vijay, the leader, and members of his political party fled the scene of occurrence,” the court stated, condemning their conduct. “Shockingly, the organisers, including the leader of the political party, absconded from the venue, abandoning their own cadres, followers, and fans. “All the available CCTV footages in the place of the incident, more particularly, the CCTV footages inside and outside the bus carrying the leader of the political party shall be seized.
