Stampede at southern India rally for actor Vijay kills 40

The death toll from a stampede at a political rally for popular actor-turned-politician Joseph Vijay Chandrasekhar in Tamil Nadu, southern India, has risen to 40, the state’s health minister said Sunday. Hospitals were treating at least 124 injured, most of whom were reported to be in stable condition. Among the dead were nine children.

The rally, held Saturday in the district of Karur, drew tens of thousands of supporters in the sweltering heat to hear Vijay, one of Tamil Nadu’s most prominent actors, who is running in the state elections scheduled for early 2026. Local culture often elevates film stars to near-mythical status, and many, like Vijay, have successfully transitioned into politics. Witnesses said the actor’s address was delayed by over six hours, leaving the crowd congested and difficult to manage. When Vijay’s campaign vehicle began to move, hundreds of fans surged after it, triggering the stampede. The government has launched an investigation led by a former judge, and Chief Minister M.K. Stalin announced compensation of more than $11,000 for each family of the deceased. Vijay expressed deep sorrow on social media, calling the tragedy “unbearable,” while Prime Minister Narendra Modi described it as “deeply saddening.” Stampedes at large gatherings are unfortunately not uncommon in India, with a January incident at the Maha Kumbh festival claiming at least 30 lives.
