Tragedy Strikes at Vijay Rally: 39 Killed, 51 Injured in Karur Stampede!

A political rally in Karur, Tamil Nadu, turned disastrous on September 27, 2025, when a massive crowd surge caused a stampede during actor-turned-politician Vijay’s address. The death toll has reached 39, comprising 13 men, 17 women, and 9 children, while at least 51 others are receiving treatment. The chaos is blamed on Vijay’s delayed arrival, hours past schedule, combined with sweltering heat, inadequate crowd control, and attendees waiting without sufficient water or provisions.

Viral video clips from the scene have intensified public outrage, showing Vijay allegedly continuing his speech even as injured individuals lay nearby and ambulances struggled to reach the victims. In response, the Tamil Nadu government announced ₹10 lakh in compensation for affected families and launched an inquiry commission led by retired judge Aruna Jagadeesan to investigate procedural lapses and accountability.

Sam Pitroda: “Felt at Home in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal”

Rahul Gandhi’s close aide and Indian Overseas Congress chief Sam Pitroda sparked a political row after stating that he felt “at home” while visiting India’s neighbouring countries. “I’ve been to Pakistan, and I must tell you, I felt at home. I’ve been to Bangladesh, I’ve been to Nepal, and I feel at home. I don’t feel like I’m in a foreign country,” Pitroda remarked, highlighting the shared culture, food, language, and traditions that bind the region together.

His statement drew sharp criticism from the BJP, which accused him of being insensitive to issues of national security and terrorism. Pitroda later clarified that his comments were meant to underline people-to-people ties and common heritage across South Asia, not to undermine India’s concerns. He maintained that fostering neighbourly relations is essential for regional peace and cooperation.

Sharif at UNGA: ‘Hindu Supremacist Agenda in India Seeks Subjugation of 200 Million Muslims’

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif used his UN General Assembly address to launch sharp criticism at India, accusing it of pursuing what he called a “Hindu supremacist agenda.” He said this ideology “aggressively seeks the subjugation of 200 million Muslims and the obliteration of India’s Islamic heritage.” Drawing a parallel with Gaza, Sharif claimed that “like the people of Palestine, the people of Jammu and Kashmir too, have struggled for a century for their freedom and right to self-determination.”

Sharif also warned against India’s growing military capabilities, saying Pakistan would “respond most decisively to any Indian aggression.” While highlighting Islamophobia as a global threat, he argued that Kashmir remains a flashpoint demanding urgent international intervention. His comments drew sharp criticism from Indian officials, who dismissed the speech as propaganda and reiterated that Jammu and Kashmir is an internal matter.

From Rising Star to Scandal: ACS Officer Nupur Bora’s Fall from Grace!

Nupur Bora, a 2019-batch Assam Civil Service (ACS) officer once viewed as a promising administrative talent, now finds herself entangled in one of the state’s most sensational corruption cases. Arrested after months of surveillance, she faces accusations of facilitating illegal land transfers, including transferring Hindu-owned land to “suspicious individuals” during her tenure in Barpeta, in exchange for bribes. In raids conducted at her residences, authorities seized massive amounts of cash and valuables: ₹92 lakh cash and jewellery worth close to ₹1 crore from her Guwahati home, and additional funds at her Barpeta house.

The arrest has sent shockwaves through Assam’s bureaucracy, not just because of the sheer scale of alleged misconduct, but also because Bora’s journey had embodied hope for many young women in public service. Her administrative career included postings as Assistant Commissioner in Karbi Anglong, then as Circle Officer in Barpeta, and most recently as CO of Goroimari in Kamrup. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has publicly vowed strict action, accusing her of not just corruption, but “serious concern” over manipulations in the revenue offices of minority-dominated regions.
