A Chennai police case is underway against DMK councillor Sudha Deenadayalan after a complaint alleging she made derogatory remarks about Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay during a Mupperum Vizha event. Esplanade police initiate action and summon the councillor for questioning over the allegations, with references to provisions related to public decency.
The complaint, filed by Udhayakumar, is linked to Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam and describes the remarks as insulting and defamatory. NDTV reports that a video shows the councillor using an abusive term while responding to allegations that the chief minister had engaged in body-shaming comments about DMK president and former chief minister M K Stalin, and that she also compared Vijay’s appearance to Stalin’s. TVK has criticised the remarks, while the councillor faces legal scrutiny based on the complaint and police review.
