Police in India registered a criminal case against leaders of Tamil actor Vijay’s political party after a stampede at his rally killed 39 people, a senior police official said on Sunday.

The dead included children, and roughly 50 others were injured in the Saturday’s stampede. Vijay was campaigning for his Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam party in Tamil Nadu ahead of state elections in early 2026.

State police filed the case — the first step toward potential charges — "against TVK party senior leaders Bussy Anand, Nirmal Kumar and V.P. Mathiyalagan," senior police official V. Selvaraj told reporters.
