A man carrying a firearm was intercepted by security personnel before entering the Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) public meeting venue in Puducherry on December 9.
The individual, identified as David, reportedly serves as the personal security guard of Prabhu, the Sivagangai District Secretary of TVK.
The incident took place during actor-politician Vijay’s first public meeting since the Karur stampede in September, which claimed 41 lives. The event, held at the Expo Ground in Puducherry, saw heightened security measures, with police and organisers taking extra precautions to prevent any untoward incidents.
Meanwhile, the police have denied permission for TVK chief Vijay’s scheduled public meeting in Erode on December 16. The request was submitted by former minister K.A. Sengottaiyan—now a key TVK entrant after his expulsion from the AIADMK—who had hoped to use the event to demonstrate his organisational strength on his home turf.
