Here's What We Know So Far

                                                                               

• Vijay, who is the president of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), was supposed to reach Karur around noon on Saturday, but was delayed by at least six hours.
  
• By the time Vijay arrived, the crowd had already become very large and several people began fainting because of the overcrowding and the heat.
  
• Taking note of this, the actor-politician stopped his speech and began throwing water bottles from the custom-built campaign bus.
  
• Officials said a stampede was triggered after a section of the supporters and fans who had gathered fell while trying to get close to the actor's bus
  
  
• Ambulances also found it difficult to make their way through the crowd and take patients to hospitals.
