Udhayanidhi Stalin released after questioning at Sengipatti police station

Udhayanidhi Stalin, leader of the Opposition and DMK youth wing, was released on bail after questioning at the Sengipatti Police Station on Tuesday night. He was arrested on August 3 in Chennai on complaints alleging he made misogynistic remarks during a DMK demonstration in Thanjavur against the Cauvery issue. The arrest initially drew a large number of DMK cadres to the Sengipatti Police Station, leading to the police changing their plan and bringing him to the station about 25 km away.

Upon his arrival, he was questioned for over an hour before being released to a cheering crowd. The case against him involved charges under various sections of the Tamil Nadu Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and the Information Technology Act.
