Vijay, head of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, faces scrutiny as he and his party's members were booked under several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023 for allegedly breaching MCC regulations during a campaign in advance of the 2026 Assembly polls.

Actor-politician Vijay, leading the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, is under investigation for alleged violations of the Model Code of Conduct during a campaign rally in Peravallur.

The Peravallur police filed charges against Vijay and his party members under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023. The accusations include holding a rally outside of permitted hours and causing public inconvenience with a convoy of 30 sound systems.

This comes as Vijay's party prepares to make its debut in the 2026 Assembly elections, with Vijay contesting from Perambur and Tiruchirappalli East.
