Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) leader Vijay, yes, the actor‑turned‑politician turning Tamil Nadu’s 2026 Assembly election into his own blockbuster, hit the headlines again with a dramatic election affidavit flip‑flop on criminal cases that’s got political circles buzzing.
Just days after confidently declaring that he had zero criminal cases pending against him in his first affidavit, Vijay suddenly filed a revised version on April 4, 2026, disclosing not one but two active FIRs that were missing earlier.

This fresh filing came after his nominations from Perambur and Tiruchirapalli (Trichy) East raised eyebrows over missing legal disclosures, a no‑no under Election Commission rules.

So what are the criminal cases? Here’s the inside track.
The first FIR, numbered 74 of 2026, was registered at the K5 Peravallur Police Station in Chennai. It stems from an incident on March 30, the very day Vijay filed his original nomination for Perambur.
According to police records, the FIR alleges a public disturbance and violation of election norms tied to a campaign event. In other words, things got a bit rowdy.
Vijay candidly wrote in his revised affidavit that he only learned about this FIR on April 2 from social media posts, which is why it wasn’t listed originally.
The second FIR comes from Koodakovil Police Station in Madurai district and dates way back to August 21, 2025. That was the day of a big TVK party conference, which should have been all pomp and glamour. But the complaint tells a different tale.
An attendee alleged that security staff or bouncers pushed someone trying to get close to Vijay during a ramp walk, causing injury. The situation was described as chaotic, possibly even crowd‑like.
However, Vijay claims he hasn’t received any official summons about this case yet, and so it just showed up in the revised affidavit.
