Vijay files nomination in Tiruchy East amid fan frenzy; raises law and order concerns

TIRUCHY: Actor-turned-politician Vijay, leader of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), filed his nomination from the Tiruchy East constituency on Thursday, drawing massive crowds of supporters and triggering brief moments of chaos.

As Vijay’s convoy made its way through the city, hundreds of enthusiastic fans followed his vehicle, despite police attempts to regulate the crowd. In the commotion, a woman who was running alongside the convoy reportedly lost balance and fell, causing concern among onlookers.

Noticing the incident, Vijay immediately stopped his vehicle, stepped out, and personally checked on the injured woman before resuming his journey.

The gesture briefly halted traffic and created a tense yet emotionally charged atmosphere at the scene.

Later, Vijay formally submitted his nomination papers to the Returning Officer, Muthu Murugesa Pandian, at the Tiruchy East constituency office.
