Overview
- A media review found Vijay’s Perambur affidavit states no pending cases, while his Tiruchirappalli East filing lists two FIRs at Koodakovil and Peravallur.
- The 2025 case registered at Peravallur does not appear in the Perambur affidavit, prompting questions about whether required disclosures were omitted.
- The documents also conflict on election expense accounts, with the Perambur filing naming one Indian Overseas Bank account and the Trichy filing adding a second account in Tiruchirappalli.
- Legal experts say he can submit a revised affidavit to correct the record, and they note Section 125A allows up to six months in jail or a fine for false statements in such filings.
- The scrutiny arrives as Vijay’s TVK pitches itself as a third front before the April 23 Tamil Nadu vote, a stage when rivals can file objections and voters may weigh disclosure lapses.
