Vetri Duraisamy died after his car met with an accident and his vehicle fell into the Sutlej river in the Kinnaur district in Himachal Pradesh on February 4. Ajith, who paid his final respects to Vetri, had attended his wedding a few years back. According to reports, Vetri Duraisamy, who was traveling with his friends, met with an accident while en route to Spiti from Shimla, with his car then plunging into the river. The driver of the vehicle, Tenzin, was also found dead, while co-passenger, Gopinath, was rescued and is at present undergoing treatment at a hospital. Multiple teams were dispatched for the rescue operations, including the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) Uttarakhand, while the district police officials also joined along.
Vetri Duraisamy was found by a team of divers yesterday from the site of the accident nine days after the rescue operations began. His body was soon shifted to the Indira Gandhi Medical College and Hospital for the post-mortem. Vetri had directed a film titled Endravathu Oru Naal (2021), which had Vidharth and Remya Nambeesan in the lead roles. Several notable personalities from all walks of life have been paying their respects to Vetri Duraisamy, including actor-politician Kamal Haasan, who penned a heartfelt tribute on X earlier in the day writing, "The news of the death of Vetri Duraisamy, the son of former Chennai Mayor and friend 'Saidai' Duraisamy, is deeply saddening. It is an unimaginable grief that a young man, who was doing his work with dignity, met his end at a tender age in such an accident. I console the father who is suffering from the loss of his son with a heavy heart. He should recover from this soon."
