This actually happened July 3, not this week — DMK MLA Anitha Radhakrishnan was arrested after the Madras High Court denied him anticipatory bail, over remarks he made about Tamil Nadu CM Vijay (yes, actor-CM Vijay) at a public event on June 20, including a comment referencing Vijay's pre-political film career. DMK workers physically surrounded police trying to prevent the arrest. Party chief MK Stalin didn't hold back, accusing the TVK government of running a "police state" and pointedly asking why a gang-rape complaint against a TVK MLA hadn't drawn the same urgency. The TVK government, meanwhile, is separately seeking the Governor's sanction to prosecute Radhakrishnan and another former minister in money-laundering cases — so this arrest sits inside a much bigger DMK-versus-TVK legal battle, not an isolated incident.
