DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin was detained from his Chennai residence today amid a growing political row over his alleged remarks about actor Trisha Krishnan.
The development comes as the ruling TVK intensified its protest by filing complaints with the local police and the National Commission for Women (NCW).
TVK files police and NCW complaints
The ruling TVK submitted formal complaints to the police, alleging that Udhayanidhi’s comments were offensive and inappropriate. The party also approached the National Commission for Women, seeking intervention and appropriate action over the remarks.
TVK leaders said the comments had hurt public sentiment and called for accountability, urging authorities to investigate the matter. The complaints are expected to be examined by the relevant authorities in the coming days.
Political row intensifies
The controversy has added to the political friction between the DMK and TVK, with leaders from both sides exchanging accusations.
While TVK has demanded strict action against Udhayanidhi, the DMK has not issued a detailed response to the complaints.
The incident is likely to further sharpen political rhetoric in Tamil Nadu, where both parties have been engaged in an increasingly confrontational battle over recent weeks.
Authorities have not yet announced whether any formal case will be registered following the complaints.
