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”.

UP: Govt hospital staff booked for sexually assaulting woman in pretext of ultrasound test
Gorakhpur (PTI): A hospital employee was booked for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in the pretext of an ultrasound test here in the district women's hospital, police said on Saturday.
According to the complaint, the woman, a resident of the Gulriha area, visited the district women's hospital on Thursday morning for an ultrasound test.
She was directed to a room, where Abhimanyu Gupta was conducting ultrasounds. When her turn came, the accused allegedly stared at her and told her to remove all her clothes, claiming it was necessary for the test and that a massage would also be required, she said.

The woman alleged that once she complied, the accused began making obscene advances and tried to force himself on her. When she screamed, he allegedly gagged her, abused her and threatened to kill her before pushing her out of the room.
She said her complaints within the hospital went unheard, forcing her to approach the police.
Taking cognisance of the complaint, the hospital administration constituted a three-member inquiry committee, officials said.
Senior consultant (paediatrics) Dr Jay Kumar said, "The woman has levelled serious allegations against a staff member. Senior officials have been informed, and a departmental inquiry is underway. Strict action will be taken if the charges are proved."
Kotwali Station House Officer Chatrapal Singh said a case has been registered, and efforts are on to nab the accused.
