Argument over faulty lift in building
According to police, the SBI NRI branch operates from a commercial building that is allegedly owned by Kayalvizhi.
When she visited the bank a few days ago, an argument broke out between her and the branch manager over a malfunctioning lift in the building, police said.
During their conversation in the manager’s office, Kayalvizhi allegedly slapped the official on his cheek, police said, adding that the incident was recorded on CCTV.

A senior police official said an FIR has been registered based on a complaint lodged by an SBI official. A case was registered against Kayalvizhi on charges of assaulting and intimidating the branch manager.
Police said the incident was captured on the branch’s CCTV cameras, and the footage surfaced on social media on Saturday, triggering widespread attention.
The DMK lost power this year with erstwhile CM MK Stalin, who is Kayalvizhi’s uncle, losing the assembly election. Actor-turned-politician Vijay became the new chief minister of Tamil Nadu.
