Nine children among scores killed in crush at Indian rally

|The Guardian
Police in India have opened a criminal case against the leaders of a party headed by the actor turned politician Vijay, after a crowd crush at one of his rallies killed 40 people and injured at least 124 others.
At least nine children were among the dead at the rally on Saturday night in the Karur district of Tamil Nadu state in southern India.
Vijay, one of the most popular and successful actors in Tamil cinema, entered politics last year. He was addressing the crowd for his Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party before state elections, due to be held early next year.
Tamil Nadu police launched the case, the first step towards potential charges, against three of the TVK party's leaders, a senior official told Reuters.
"TVK originally sought permission for a gathering of 10,000 people, but the actual crowd was more than double," a Tamil Nadu police officer, V Selvaraj, told the news agency.
The state's head of police, G Venkataraman, said approximately 27,000 people had turned up.
Vijay was not among the three people being investigated.
