A contract employee deployed in the CCTV surveillance room at the vote-counting centre at Anna University in Chennai was arrested after he allegedly downloaded and watched the film Jana Nayagan, starring Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) leader and actor Vijay, on his laptop, photographed it, and posted the image on social media, all while on duty.
Electronic voting machines (EVMs) from five Assembly constituencies — Saidapet, Virugambakkam, Velachery, T. Nagar, and Mylapore — were brought to the Anna University counting centre on the night of April 23 and kept under tight security.
