Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief and actor-turned-politician Vijay leads a major public protest today demanding justice for Ajith Kumar, a private security guard who allegedly died in police custody in Sivagangai district. This marks Vijay's first public agitation since launching his political party.
Ajith Kumar, who worked as a temple guard at the Madapuram Temple, died in police custody last month. A sessions court judge's report confirmed illegal custody and torture, and the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has directed the CBI to file a final report by August 20.
