A woman, whose husband was among the 41 persons killed in last month’s stampede at a Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) rally in Karur, has returned the ₹20-lakh compensation extended by actor and party chief Vijay. Shankavi Perumal said she was upset as Mr. Vijay did not visit her in Karur to offer his condolences. Instead, he had invited the families to a private resort in Mamallapuram and shared his grief with them.
Earlier, Mr. Vijay had reached out to the members of the bereaved families through a video call and assured them that he would meet them soon. He subsequently transferred ₹20 lakh each as compensation to the respective bank accounts of the families of the 41 victims.
