Vijay Dhamu, a candidate from the Tamilaga Vazhvurimai Katchi (TVK) party elected from Royapuram, Chennai, is under legal scrutiny after a video surfaced showing him cutting a birthday cake with a machete during a public celebration. The incident, which has sparked outrage on social media, led to a formal complaint filed by G G Siva, a resident of Pulianthope, with the Chennai Police Commissioner's office. Siva's petition emphasizes that such actions can instill fear among the public and disturb peace, setting a poor example for elected representatives. The complaint also mentions other party functionaries involved in the event. Police officials are currently verifying the authenticity of the video and gathering more information about the celebration. This incident follows a pattern of previous cases where individuals have faced legal action for using weapons in public celebrations.
