  "account": "On Tuesday, DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin was detained by police after Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay TVK filed complaints with the police and National Commission for Women (NCW). The chief minister accused Stalin of making offensive remarks against actress Trisha Krishnan during a speech on the Cauvery water dispute in Thanjavur. The NCW also criticized the remarks, deeming them distasteful and inappropriate. The detention came after Stalin's speech, where he received chants of \"Trisha, Trisha\" from the audience, leading him to make a remark related to the Cauvery river project. This comment reportedly contained a double entendre, which drew criticism from TVK leaders like MLA Rhevanth Charan, who called it disgusting and accused Udhayanidhi's political camp of lowering standards.",
  "summary": "Stalin's comments came during a speech on the Cauvery water dispute with Karnataka in Thanjavur.",
