Actor Vishal had tweeted a couple of hourse ago today, December 7, about an "alarming turn of events" regarding the RK Nagar  by-election controversy:

"Alarming turn of events !

Just received info thru media that I have to produce the 2 people who supposedly alleged that their signature in my nomination for RK Nagar Election has been forged, in front of the Election Commission before 3 PM today.

Less than 2 hours to do this..."

Hence, the Election Commission's decision after hearing the two proposers who backed out alleging forged signatures was expected with great curiosity.

But just now, he has met the press and stated, "Deepan and Sumathi are currently untraceable... Giving security to them is my priority now. Filing nomination or reversal of rejection is secondary to me.”

This adds greater mystery to the controversy as to the whereabouts of Deepan and Sumathi.
