Vijay to Meet Families of Karur Stampede Victims
MAMALLAPURAM, Tamil Nadu – October 25, 2025 – Actor and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party president Vijay is set to meet with the families of the 41 individuals who tragically lost their lives in the September 27 stampede at a political rally in Karur. The meeting will take place on Monday, October 27th, in a private hall in Mamallapuram.
A high-ranking TVK official confirmed the meeting to The Hindu, stating that Vijay will offer his condolences to the bereaved families in a closed-door setting.
The decision to hold the meeting in Mamallapuram, rather than Karur, was attributed to logistical hurdles and security concerns. The party had initially sought permission from the Director-General of Police (DGP) to hold the meeting in Karur, requesting security arrangements for Vijay, who is under Y-category security. However, finding a suitable location that met both security and logistical needs proved challenging.
The stampede, which occurred a month ago during a TVK rally, prompted the suspension of all party activities. TVK sources indicate that organizational work and public engagements will resume following Monday’s meeting. The party hopes this meeting will bring some solace to the affected families and mark a step towards healing after the devastating event.
