TVK MLA Arul Vignesh accused of sending obscene messages to Collector; Kanimozhi questions CM Vijay

CHENNAI: DMK Deputy General Secretary and MP Kanimozhi Karunanidhi has questioned Chief Minister Vijay over allegations circulating on social media that Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) MLA Arul Vignesh sent obscene messages to the Kallakurichi District Collector and harassed her by visiting her residence while intoxicated. The reports also claim that a Personal Security Officer (PSO) was subsequently appointed to the Collector's security.

In a post on X, Kanimozhi criticised the TVK government over the state's law and order situation. "Under this inefficient TVK government, law and order have deteriorated, with successive incidents of murder and robbery being reported across Tamil Nadu. Now, even a District Collector has been left facing a security threat from a TVK MLA. In such circumstances, what protection can the Chief Secretary provide to the Collector merely by appointing a Personal Security Officer?" she asked.
Kanimozhi also directly questioned Chief Minister Vijay, asking what response he had to the issue.

Tamil media reports that Arul Vignesh has denied the allegations, describing them as false and accusing the DMK IT wing of spreading misinformation.
