India, Sept. 27 -- Overcrowding is being cited as a main reason after at least 36 people died and 40 were injured in a stampede-like situation at actor-turned-politician Vijay's massive public rally in Karur. A probe has been ordered.

Saturday's event, which was headlined by Vijay, who leads a party called Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), took a turn after the crowd became unmanageable.
