DMK MLA Anitha Radhakrishnan who was arrested in Thoothukudi district for allegedly making defamatory and abusive remarks against Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Joseph Vijay was granted bail on Saturday.
The Tiruchendur MLA was taken into custody by the police and underwent a medical examination before being questioned by investigators.
The case stems from a controversial speech delivered on June 20 in which Radhakrishnan allegedly made derogatory remarks against the Chief Minister, including comments linked to a birthday photograph shared by actor Trisha featuring Vijay.
Police registered the FIR on June 23 under Sections 352 and 353 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, relating to intentional insult and promoting enmity.
