DMK MLA Anitha R. Radhakrishnan is arrested after the Madras High Court dismisses her request for anticipatory bail. Multiple reports say the case is linked to alleged “defamatory” or “objectionable” remarks made by Radhakrishnan during a public gathering. The comments are reported to target TVK president C. Joseph Vijay, who is also the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.

According to the accounts, the arrest takes place shortly after the court’s order. Police take her into custody following the rejection of anticipatory bail, and the matter is described as being registered at Authoor police station. Both outlets indicate that investigations are ongoing following the arrest. The reports present the action as part of the enforcement of the court’s decision, rather than providing details of a trial outcome or adjudication on the merits of the remarks at this stage.
