CHENNAI: The AIADMK has asked Tamil Nadu's top officials to prosecute the TVK legislator from Kallakurichi, C Arul Vignesh, over what it says were obscene messages sent on WhatsApp to Kallakurichi District Collector JE Padmaja.
The party's legal wing filed a complaint with the Chief Secretary, the Home Secretary and the Director General of Police, its advocate wing secretary, I S Inbadurai, said in a post on X. The petition was submitted by R Trisuli, deputy secretary of the party's South Chennai district legal wing.
Vignesh has denied the allegation, calling it untrue. The matter became a political row after the messages were spoken about publicly.
No case has been registered on the record available here, and neither the government nor the police have said whether they are acting on the complaint. The collector has not been named, and the messages' content has not been published.
