Thol. Thirumavalavan, the founder and Member of Parliament of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) party, is orchestrating a public gathering in Tiruchi on Republic Day, 26 January 2024, named “Vellum Sananayagam” (Democracy Will Win). This event marks the first public event of the I.N.D.I alliance.
Given this context, as reported by The Polimer News, a member of the VCK party caused disturbance at Vadapalani Hospital. The incident, which included an assault on security personnel and staff members, has generated significant concern among local residents.
The incident unfolded at Puttur Kattu Bone and Joint Centre Hospital in Vadapalani, Chennai. A man, accompanying a woman to the hospital, parked his bike, obstructing the way to the hospital. It is alleged that the security personnel on duty had advised the man not to park the bike by blocking the way and to park on the side, the enraged man entered the hospital and assaulted the on-duty guard.
Reports suggest that he not only made derogatory remarks about female employees intervening but also claimed affiliation with the VCK and made statements like, “Do you know who I am?”. He is reported to have gone to the VCK office nearby, bringing ten supporters who were preparing for the Vellum Sananayagam event. They entered the hospital, taunted and allegedly assaulted doctors and staff on duty.
Following a complaint filed by Dr. Aruna, an employee at the hospital, Vadapalani police secured CCTV footage and initiated an investigation. Additionally, the VCK party filed a complating alleging that the hospital staff had attacked them.

The CCTV footage was startling, especially considering the party’s claims of advocating for liberty, equality, and fraternity in its upcoming conference. The broad daylight assault by its members on hospital employees in the town’s central area is equally shocking.
