In an unusual turn of events, an order issued by Director General of Police (Head of Police Force) Sandeep Rai Rathore - who was appointed to the post by ECI on April 2 - asking IPS officer Sandeep Mittal to hold full additional charge as Head of Directorate of Vigilance and Anti Corruption (DVAC) was overridden by a letter issued by Home Secretary K Manivasan hours later. Manivasan named AT Durai Kumar as Director (in-charge) of the investigative body.

#TamilNaduAssemblyElections2026 | Candidates of the #TamilagaVettriKazhagam (#TVK), which entered the electoral fray with aplomb, are worried that they are being left behind while other parties' campaigns have picked up steam. They allege that poor coordination and weak organisation at the grassroots level are to blame. Sources said that two days ago, #TVK workers spotted a man sporting a party scarf and campaigning alone in #Coimbatore. Only when they asked him did they realise that he was the candidate they had to seek votes for. In many other constituencies, party workers do not even have their candidate's mobile number.

#Electionboycott #Vengaivayal Citing lack of justice in the #Pudukkottai Vengaivayal case, Dalits of Vengaivayal and caste Hindus of Erayur, Muttukadu panchayat under Kulathur taluk have announced a boycott of the 2026 Assembly elections. In Vengaivayal village faeces were found mixed in an overhead water tank supplying Dalit residents in 2022. On Friday night Caste hindus erected a banner calling for the boycott and demanded to arrest the accused and resolve their basic unmet civic issues. According to the CB-CID, three persons J. Muraliraja, B. Sudharshan and K. Muthukrishnan allegedly committed the offence due to personal enmity linked to the dismissal of a tank operator, ruling out caste motive. The case was later transferred from the SC/ST Special Court to the Judicial Magistrate Court-II in Pudukkottai in February 2025.
