Vijay is being held accountable for the catastrophic stampede and a formal complaint was filed. The FIR alleges that Vijay stayed inside his campaign vehicle at the location for a long time, which led to public agitation and crowd congestion. The ruling DMK government is criticising him for the incident.
Currently enjoying the success of his most recent film, Kantara: Chapter 1, actor Rishab Shetty responded to the horrific stampede that killed over 40 people during Tamil actor-politician Vijay’s rally in Karur. In a recent interview with NDTV, Rishab referred to the stampede as a “collective mistake” and expressed regret that such situations occur.
What did Rishab Shetty tell about the stampede tragedy?
“If we like a hero or his character, we do hero worship. How can I comment on that (the stampede)? It’s unfortunate when these accidents happen; around 40 people died there. I don’t think it could be one person’s mistake; maybe it was a collective mistake made by many. Maybe it could have been controlled. That’s why we call it an accident,” the actor-director told NDTV.
He added, “It was not intentional. We should take precautions. But who will control a mob? How can I comment on that? We can easily blame the police or government; they also have a responsibility. But sometimes they will also have trouble controlling the crowd.”
Vijay offers his condolence to the family of the deceased
Vijay made a video call to the relatives of those killed in the incident on October 7. The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam chief offered the families of the deceased his sympathies during the call.
