A video is being shared, claiming to show Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay visiting Jantar Mantar in Delhi, amid the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) protests.
The video is captioned, "Fresh speculation has stirred in political circles following South superstar Thalapathy Vijay's visit to Jantar Mantar in Delhi. Was this merely a meeting, or a sign of a major entry into national politics? A video of the visit is rapidly going viral on social media." (translated from Hindi)
How did we find out?: We ran a keyword search and could not find any reports on CM Joseph Vijay visiting Jantar Mantar.
We ran a reverse image search on the video using Google Lens and found a couple of social media accounts sharing the same video with different context.
The official Facebook account of Sathiyam TV, a Tamil news channel, shared a video which matches the visuals seen in the original claim, on 13 July 2026.
The video is captioned, "Chief Minister Vijay toured the streets; people welcomed him by showering flowers from their homes." (translated from Tamil to English)
The video mentions Perambur in Tamil Nadu as the location in the video.
We found a report by Nakkheeran, a Tamil magazine, sharing a visual with the same setting as the original claim.
According to the report, CM Vijay inaugurated the MLA office in his home constituency, Perambur, on 13 July 2026.
Following the inauguration, he walked around the area and thanked the people of the constituency.
Conclusion: The video shows CM Joseph Vijay walking through the streets of Tamil Nadu's Perambur after the inauguration of the MLA office.
