DMK leader and Tamil Nadu Leader of the Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin was arrested from his Chennai residence on Tuesday after police registered a case over his alleged vulgar remarks during a Cauvery water protest in Thanjavur. The comments, reportedly made after supporters chanted actor Trisha's name, sparked widespread criticism from the ruling TVK and the BJP. Police detained Stalin amid heavy security outside his home, while DMK workers staged protests. The DMK termed the action politically motivated, with senior leaders insisting Stalin had done nothing wrong and accusing the government of misusing the police to target the opposition.
