@dramitsarwal: Popular Indian film star-turned-politician #Vijay faces charges as rally stampede leaves 41 dead - After a deadly stampede at #TamilNadu’s Karur claimed 41 lives during actor-turned-politician Joseph Vijay Chandrasekhar’s rally, local police have arrested Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) Karur West District Secretary V. P. Mathiyazhagan, holding him responsible for lapses that led to the tragedy. The FIR, filed on a police complaint, names Vijay himself, alleging that his deliberate four-hour delay before appearing at the rally triggered restlessness in a crowd that had swelled to over 25,000—more than double the expected turnout. Authorities say the actor-politician also held an unauthorised roadshow, violated conditions, and fuelled “unnecessary expectations” among supporters.
