Tamil actor-politician Vijay’s party office demolished after controversial Iftar party?
Here’s the truth
Claim: Vijay’s party office in Tamil Nadu was demolished after hosting an Iftar party.
Fact: The claim is misleading. The video shows the demolition of the TVK youth office, which was removed for encroaching on a road in Thiruvallur. The demolition took place before the Iftar party and is unrelated to the event.
Hyderabad: A video showing the demolition of a wall featuring Tamil actor-politician Vijay’s painting is going viral on social media. The colours on the wall also match those of his recently formed party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). The video is being circulated with claims that the incident occurred after Vijay attended an Iftar party.
Referring to Thalapathy Vijay as Annan, the video was shared on Facebook with the caption, “I remember Annan went somewhere to pray…” (Translated from Malayalam) (Archive)
NewsMeter found that the claim is misleading. The video of the demolition of the wall with Vijay’s image on it is unrelated to the Iftar party.
A reverse image search of keyframes from the viral video showed that the same video was shared by an Instagram account ‘thalapathy_tvk_0622’ on February 19, 2025.

In India, Ramadan fasting began on March 1–2, 2025 and Vijay hosted the Iftar party on March 7. This confirmed that the video predates the Iftar event.
Kumudam News 24x7 shared the same visuals from the viral video on their YouTube channel on February 18, 2025. The YouTube video was uploaded with the caption, “TVK Office Demolition: Demolition of Thaveka District Office | TVK Vijay | Tiruvallur | Pathiyal Pettai”.

Businessman burnt to death as moving car catches fire in Noida
Noida (PTI): A 46-year-old businessman was burnt to death after his moving car caught fire in Uttar Pradesh’s Gautam Buddha Nagar district, police said on Tuesday.
According to police, the victim was identified as Rajkumar Singhal, who was engaged in the paint business. The incident occurred late on Monday night near Sorkha village under the Sector 113 police station area.
Station House Officer Krishna Gopal Sharma said Singhal was driving towards Parthala Chowk when his vehicle suddenly caught fire for reasons yet to be ascertained.
Singhal was unable to get out of the car and died in the blaze, the SHO said.
Fire tenders reached the spot after receiving information, but the car had already been gutted, police said. The body has been sent for post-mortem examination and an investigation is underway.
Police suspect the presence of paint or other inflammable material in the car may have caused the fire to spread rapidly.
