In a powerful political debut on the streets, actor-turned-TVK leader Vijay led a silent yet searing protest in Chennai-demanding justice for Ajith Kumar, a 27-year-old temple guard who allegedly died in police custody. With "Sorry Ma" scrawled across his placard, Vijay wasn’t just mourning one death-he was calling out a pattern. Tamil Nadu has recorded 24 custodial deaths since 2021, under the DMK regime. By standing with victims’ families, demanding a High Court-monitored SIT, and offering compensation from party funds, Vijay made it clear: custodial violence will be a defining issue in the 2026 state elections. This was more than protest-it was political intent. Will Tamil Nadu’s voters accept custodial deaths as the price of silence or demand an answer? As Tamil Nadu prepares for a hectic election year, will this issue become a political hot-button issue for the opposition, both the AIADMK alliance and the TVK?
