September 29 saw continued extensive media coverage of India's Asia Cup victory over Pakistan, particularly the Indian team's refusal to accept the trophy from the PCB chief, leading to diplomatic and political reactions from both sides throughout the morning and early afternoon. Concurrently, the Karur rally stampede remained a prominent story, with reports detailing the rising death toll to 41 and emerging political blame games. By the afternoon, police claimed organizers deliberately delayed Vijay's arrival, contributing to the fatal crowd crush. News also emerged of Canada designating Lawrence Bishnoi's gang as a terrorist entity, and discussions continued around Trump's proposed 100% tariff on non-US made films.
