Police registered a criminal case against leaders of Tamil actor Vijay’s political party after a stampede at his rally killed at least 39 people, including children, a senior police official said.
Over 50 others were injured in last Saturday’s stampede in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, where Vijay was campaigning for his Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party ahead of state elections early next year.
