Udhayanidhi Stalin gets bail after double-entendre remarks on Trisha; MK Stalin reacts to son's detention | Top updates

Udhayanidhi Stalin, the DMK leader and Tamil Nadu Leader of the Opposition, was granted anticipatory bail after being accused of making derogatory remarks about actress Trisha Krishnan. The Madras High Court directed him to cooperate with the investigation. The incident occurred after remarks Stalin made during a public meeting in Thanjavur, which were interpreted as a double entendre related to Trisha.

The political controversy has led to criticism from the BJP and TVK, with accusations of vulgarity and calls for an apology. DMK leaders defended Stalin, insisting his comments were misinterpreted. TVK filed a complaint against Stalin over his alleged offensive remarks about Trisha, which included charges of promoting enmity between groups and provisions of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Women Act.

Udhayanidhi Stalin was charged under multiple sections of law following the complaint filed at the Thanjavur East police station.
