19-year-old Gored to Death by Bull During Jallikattu Event in Tamil Nadu, 28 Injured

Jallikattu is a sport that involves taming a bull. The bull is released into a crowd of people and the participants try to hold on to its hump or horns. The event is celebrated on Mattu Pongal, which is the third day of the popular harvest festival.

It is not an accident. This is a state sponsored barbarism which is taking its own people's lives and now the government and event organisers have blood on their hands. History has repeated itself. Such an incident has happened before in Madurai earlier. It's high time to stop this barbaric culture in the name of Tamil pride,” she said.
