Two persons were killed and 35 suffered minor injuries on Wednesday in a stampede outside the Rajaji Hall as hundreds of thousands thronged for a final glimpse of DMK leader M Karunanidhi, a hospital official said.

A senior official of the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital said, "Two persons were brought dead to the hospital with injuries arising due to trampling. One is a woman, Shanbagam, while the other person is an unidentified man." The deceased woman was said to be 60 years old.
