During actor and TVK president Vijay's visit to Vellore on February 23, a TVK cadre, G. Ellumalai, and crane operator T. Muni Rathinam were arrested for using a crane to suspend a large garland and for Ellumalai hanging from the crane to greet Vijay. The stunt, which raised safety concerns among bystanders, led to police registering cases under various public safety and nuisance laws. Investigations are ongoing to determine if event organizers were aware of the act.
