'No safety measures': Vijay's TN rally stampede kills 31
A tragic stampede at actor-politician Vijay's rally in Karur, Tamil Nadu, on September 27, 2025, left 31 people dead. The chaos was blamed on poor crowd management.
Now, social media is flooded with #ArrestVijay posts as people call for action against him over alleged negligence.
Fans waited over 6 hours for actor
About 30,000 fans showed up and waited more than six hours for Vijay. With the heat and overcrowding, many—including kids—fainted.
After the stampede, ambulances had difficulty reaching the injured quickly enough due to the massive crowd.
Vijay tried to help by calling for ambulances and tossing water bottles to the crowd, but it wasn't enough.
DMK slams Vijay, demands arrest
Chief Minister MK Stalin sent immediate medical teams and ordered order restored at the site.
A DMK spokesperson accused Vijay of not ensuring safety measures were in place.
Meanwhile, #ArrestVijay keeps trending as people demand accountability.
Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared his condolences over the loss.
