DMK MLA and former Tamil Nadu fisheries minister Anitha R. Radhakrishnan is arrested after the Madras High Court rejects his request for anticipatory bail. The case is registered by Authoor police over alleged objectionable/defamatory remarks made by Radhakrishnan during a recent public speech, where he targets Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay and the TVK. Police take him into custody following the court’s decision. Several reports describe how the arrest immediately escalates tensions between the ruling TVK and the Opposition DMK, with exchanges becoming more confrontational after the development. One report notes that following his arrest, Radhakrishnan is produced before a court in Tiruchendur late in the night, around 10.30 p.m. Another update from the same outlet later states that he receives bail in the case related to his remarks against the Chief Minister. Investigations continue in the matter as authorities pursue the allegations tied to the comments made at the gathering.
