Families say actor-politician touched their feet and wept, assured support for rest of life
A month after the stampede during TVK president Vijay's rally in Karur, the actor-politician met with the families of 33 of the 41 people who were killed along with a few of those who sustained injuries, at a closed-door meeting organised in a private hall near Mahabalipuram on Monday.
A few of the families TNIE spoke to said Vijay apologised for not being able to visit them in Karur earlier, citing alleged lack of permission from the government and the unavailability of a suitable private venue.
