NEW DELHI: A police case was filed on Tuesday against Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay for allegedly violating election conduct regulations during a public event in Chennai.
The complaint, lodged by Flying Squad Officer Kumar at Peravallur Police Station, accuses Vijay of breaching the Model Code of Conduct by deploying nearly 30 loudspeakers and addressing a gathering of more than 5,000 people. Authorities said the event caused significant inconvenience to the public.
Officials further noted that the large assembly obstructed a public pathway and reportedly hindered the movement of an ambulance, raising serious concerns about public safety and emergency access.
Based on the complaint, police have registered a case under multiple sections, including charges related to public nuisance, unlawful assembly, and blocking public routes. The case also names thousands of party supporters who were present at the venue, according to ANI.
The development comes shortly after Vijay announced his intention to contest elections from the Perambur and Trichy East constituencies.
Tamil Nadu will hold assembly elections in a single phase on April 23, with vote counting scheduled for May 4.
