Dalit Families Say SC Petitions Filed Without Consent After Vijay Rally Tragedy
Two Dalit families who lost loved ones in the tragic stampede at a Vijay rally have come forward with a startling claim — that Supreme Court petitions were filed in their names without their consent or knowledge. Selvaraj, who lost his wife, and Sharmila, who lost her son, say they were shocked to learn of the legal action only after media reports surfaced. Since the revelation, both families have received a flood of phone calls, including from the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), actor Vijay’s political outfit. The situation has raised serious concerns about misuse of identity and legal manipulation. Police personnel have now been deployed to ensure the families’ safety amid growing public and political attention. The families are demanding answers and accountability, while legal experts say the incident raises troubling questions about representation and consent in high-profile public interest cases.
