  • The complainant, TVK worker Sarathkumar, alleged he was forcefully pushed by Vijay’s bouncers while trying to climb the ramp, resulting in a chest injury.
  • Circulating video from the conference shows security personnel throwing or pushing a man off the stage as crowds pressed toward the leader.
  • Police said the case invokes three sections of the Indian Penal Code, though reports did not specify the exact provisions.
