STAMPEDE SORROW | Toll 40; TVK leaders booked; Vijay mourns ‘irreparable loss', announces 20L compensation.
-
A commission of inquiry, headed by retired Madras High Court judge Aruna Jagadeesan, on Sunday commenced probe into Saturday's "crowd crush" at Karur, which claimed 40 lives during actor and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) leader Vijay's rally.
As the party came under sharp criticism from several quarters for the poor arrangement, the Karur Town police booked TVK general secretary 'Bussy' N Anand, joint general secretary Nirmal Kumar and the Karur unit secretary in connection with the tragedy. TVK, however, stopped short of alleging a conspiracy that led to the tragedy and approached the Madras High Court with a plea for an CBI inquiry. The Madurai Bench of the HC will hear the petition on Monday.
Vijay, facing criticism for returning to Chennai instead of visiting the injured in hospitals, announced a compensation of Rs 20 lakh to each of the deceased and Rs 2 lakh for the injured.
