He was one of those named in the FIR connected to the Karur stampede of September 2025, when 41 people were killed in a TVK rally. Nirmal Kumar has always been on top of his game when he was helping the party in its communications during the difficult times and at the same time, he was keeping up with TVK’s position of not being a BJP or DMK ally and promoting the cause of a people-centric political approach in Tamil Nadu.
