Palani (Tamil Nadu), February 13 The administration of the renowned Dhandayudhapani Swamy Temple in Palani has filed a formal police complaint following an incident where a young man allegedly played a film song by actor-politician Vijay over the temple's public address system, officials said on Friday.
The incident, which took place in the 'Yaanai Paadhai' (Elephant Path) area of the hill shrine, has sparked controversy after a video of the act went viral on social media platforms.
According to temple sources, the young man gained unauthorized access to the microphone station, which is typically used for security announcements and broadcasting devotional hymns, during a brief period when staff members were away from their posts.
He reportedly connected his mobile phone to the audio console to play the song.
The viral footage, which was initially uploaded on Instagram, shows the individual performing the stunt while the loud film music echoes through the temple corridors, contrasting with the traditional devotional atmosphere of the site.
Police sources said they are currently tracing the digital footprint of the video to identify the young man and his accomplices.
Meanwhile, the temple administration has reportedly ordered an internal investigation into the security lapse.
