Tamil Nadu Assembly Election Results 2026 | AMMK chief T T V Dhinakaran files plaint against Vijay's TVK over 'forged' support letter

Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazagam (AMMK) has approached the Guindy police alleging that the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam used a “forged” support letter while staking claim to form the government, police officials said on Saturday.

According to the police, a petition submitted by AMMK general secretary T T V Dhinakaran has been received. However, officials clarified that no FIR had been registered in the case till Saturday morning.

The complaint came after dramatic late-night developments, with Dhinakaran visiting the office of the Assistant Commissioner of Police in Guindy.

Addressing reporters, Dhinakaran alleged that the Vijay-led TVK had presented a fabricated photocopy of a support letter to Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar, claiming the backing of AMMK’s lone MLA-elect from Mannargudi, S Kamaraj.

“The TVK, which claims to be a ‘pure force,’ has indulged in forgery and horse-trading,” Dhinakaran alleged.

He further claimed that the party attempted to circumvent anti-defection provisions by creating false evidence of support. According to him, Kamaraj himself was “shocked” after seeing the alleged forged document circulated in his name.

On Friday, Dhinakaran had announced AMMK’s support to Edappadi K Palaniswami. Rejecting the allegations, TVK termed them “false news” and released a video that it said showed Kamaraj willingly signing the support letter.

Police are likely to carry out a preliminary inquiry into the complaint before taking a decision on whether to register an FIR.
