Chennai, 5 April 2026

Amid scrutiny, TVK chief Vijay, who had earlier filed an election affidavit with no pending criminal cases, has declared two pending FIRs in a fresh affidavit filed before the returning officer for the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections to be held on 23 April.

The fresh affidavit, notarised on 3 April, was filed on 4 April by a representative, according to sources. It lists two cases in Chennaiand Madurai that were not included in the previous document notarised on 30 March.

In the latest filing, the actor disclosed FIR number 74 of 2026 registered at the K5 Peravallur Police Station in Chennai for alleged public disturbance during election campaigning on 30 March. Vijay stated in the affidavit that he became aware of this case through social media on 2 April.

A second FIR, number 108 of 2025 from the Koodakovil Police Station in Madurai district, involves a complaint regarding an incident during a party conference on 21 August, 2025. The complainant alleged being pushed and injured by bouncers while attempting to approach the leader during a ramp walk, though Vijay noted he has not yet received a formal summons for the matter.

While the criminal record section saw changes, the financial declarations remained largely consistent across both filings.

Vijay's movable assets are valued at approximately Rs 410.59 crore in the fresh affidavit, compared to the Rs 404.58 crore declared previously. This includes silver articles worth Rs 15 lakh and 883 grams of gold jewellery valued at over Rs 1.20 crore.

The total current market value of his immovable properties, including commercial and residential buildings in locations such as Neelankarai and Saligramam, is estimated at Rs 220.15 crore.

The TVK leader declared a total income of Rs 184.53 crore for the 2024-2025 financial year. He also listed pending income tax demands totalling approximately Rs 3.44 crore across multiple assessment years which are currently under appeal.

Vijay is contesting the elections from the Perambur andTiruchirapalli East Assembly constituencies. He filed his first nomination for the Perambur Assembly constituency on 30 March. He subsequently filed his nomination for the Trichy East constituency on 2 April.

The fresh affidavit submitted in Perambur on April 4 was a supplementary filing intended to address discrepancies between the initial Perambur declaration and the one later filed in Tiruchirapalli East. The revised filing ensures the TVK chief remains compliant with Election Commission norms regarding the disclosure of all pending criminal proceedings.
