Former Tamil Nadu Minister and senior DMK leader Pongalur N Palanisamy Friday filed his nomination from the Sulur assembly constituency here, where bypoll is scheduled for May 19.
Palanisamy was accompanied by another former minister A V Velu, named the party in-charge for the elections.
Meanwhile, Naam Tamilar Katchi workers created a ruckus as the vehicle carrying the party candidate Vijayraghavan was not allowed to enter the Sulur Taluk office with the police giving permission to the vehicle belonging to the DMK.
Independent candidate Prabhakaran, a social activist, filed his nomination and handed over the deposit amount of Rs 10,000 in the denomination of 10 rupee coins.
Seven independents had earlier filed their nominations for the by-poll necessitated due to the death of sitting AIADMK MLA R Kanagaraj two months ago.
The ruling AIADMK has fielded P Kandasamy and TTV Dhinakaran-led AMMK has named Sukumar for the bypoll. They are likely to file their nominations in a couple of days.
