00:00After the devastating stampede, screams inside Karur's hospital echoed a grief too heavy to bear.
00:12Shattled by grief, a father was seen cradling his lifeless child, crying aloud and confronting the politicians present.
00:23This mother laid beside her child's cold, still body, holding him one last time.
00:29Refusing to let go, her sobs filled the hospital room.
00:36This was the youngest victim of the stampede.
00:39Two-year-old Dhuru Vishnu, silenced forever.
00:43In another gut-wrenching scene, desperate relatives searched for their loved ones, while medical staff raced against time amid the chaos.
00:52Among the dead were a father and his son, who was due to be married next month.
00:57The grieving mother said, and I quote,
00:58I had repeatedly asked them not to go, and around 6pm, I even urged them to return.
01:03Both my husband and my son are gone.
01:05As bodies were brought out from the hospital, grief-stricken relatives, mothers, fathers and children broke down in tears.
01:13The heart-wrenching scene repeated with each life taken.
01:15At least 40 people, including 10 children, died after collapsing during a rally addressed by Tamil Aga Vitri Karagam President Vijay in Karoor on September 27, 2025.
01:25Families were shattered in seconds.
01:27The event, originally permitted for a crowd of 10,000, had swelled to an estimated 27,000 attendees.
01:33Many had waited for hours under the sweltering sun without sufficient food or water.
01:38Numerous people fainted even before Vijay's arrival.
01:41When the crowds dispersed, only silence remained.
01:44Shoes, slippers and crushed bottles littled the ground.
01:47A haunting reminder of a night Karoor will never forget.
