Udhayanidhi Stalin is arrested by police from his home in connection with alleged remarks about actor Trisha, multiple outlets report. The case follows a complaint filed by the women’s wing of TVK at a police station in Thanjavur. According to reports, after being taken into custody, Stalin reacts to the arrest by saying it is a “joke” and that he will “fight it legally.”
The controversy is linked to statements made during a protest meeting tied to the Cauvery water dispute, the outlets say. Political parties criticize his comments, while the DMK defends him, arguing the remarks were taken out of context. Media reports also describe that the case involves multiple legal provisions and cites the Information Technology Act among the sections referenced in connection with the complaint.
Police escort Stalin following the arrest, and the matter is now subject to the legal process as he challenges the action through the courts, as he has stated.
