It concerns an incident during a party conference on August 21, 2025, where a complainant alleged being pushed and injured by bouncers while attempting to approach Vijay during a ramp walk. Vijay noted that he has not yet received any formal summons regarding this matter.
While the criminal case disclosures were updated, the financial declarations in the revised affidavit remain largely unchanged. Vijay's movable assets have increased slightly, now valued at approximately Rs 410.59 crore, up from Rs 404.58 crore previously. This includes 883 grams of gold jewellery worth around Rs 1.20 crore and silver articles valued at Rs 15 lakh.
The total value of Vijay's immovable assets stands at Rs 220.15 crore. These include commercial and residential properties located in Neelankarai and Saligramam.
For the financial year 2024-2025, Vijay declared a total income of Rs 184.53 crore. The affidavit also lists pending income tax demands amounting to Rs 3.44 crore across several assessment years, all of which are currently under appeal.
The revised affidavit provides a comprehensive update on Vijay’s legal and financial status ahead of the Tamil Nadu assembly elections scheduled for April 23, 2026.
