A member of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) was arrested by police after making remarks that were critical of Chief Minister Vijay. The arrest was carried out following a complaint filed by the CM’s office.

The DMK has issued a statement calling the detention a "political vendetta" and has urged the authorities to release the MLA. Party leaders have expressed concern that the move is aimed at silencing dissent within the opposition.
