A 55-year-old spectator at the Alanganallur jallikattu in Madurai district was gored to death by a raging bull on Thursday.
The event was flagged off by Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin.
According to the police, P. Periyasamy of Vadipatti was attacked by a bull when he was standing near the bull collection point.
He sustained severe injuries and was admitted to a government hospital.
Doctors at the hospital said they performed a tracheotomy on him. Even as his breathing turned normal, he experienced a cardiac arrest and died.
Earlier, following morning prayers to the local gods and three temple bulls on the arena, the event was flagged off by Mr. Udhayanidhi Stalin. As a custom, the temple bulls were released first from the vaadivasal to mark the commencement of the event.
The organisers said that around 1,000 bulls were released from the vaadivasal for only the second time in the history of Alanganallur jallikattu.
