In a significant development, ‘Sattai’ Duraimurugan, a prominent member of the Naam Tamizhar Katchi (NTK) and a well-known YouTuber, was arrested by the Trichy Cyber Crime Police today. The arrest took place at a lodge in Coutrallam, creating a stir among NTK supporters.
Reasons for the Arrest
The primary reason cited for Duraimurugan’s arrest is his derogatory remarks about the former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Karunanidhi, during the Vikravandi election campaign. The Live Reports team uncovered the video that led to Duraimurugan’s arrest. In the video, Duraimurugan can be seen singing a song with offensive language, set to the tune of a song that praises the late leader. This video has since gone viral, sparking controversy and leading to his arrest.
NTK’s Response
The arrest has been met with strong condemnation from NTK’s chief coordinator, Seeman. In a statement, Seeman defended Duraimurugan, asserting that the controversial song was originally composed and sung by someone else, and that Duraimurugan merely quoted it. To emphasize his point, Seeman performed the same song in front of the media, challenging the police to arrest him as well.
DMK’s Reaction
The response from the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) members and ardent followers of Karunanidhi has been one of intense anger and outrage. Seeman’s comments and his public singing of the song have deeply offended many DMK supporters. They have taken to social media, sharing videos expressing their hatred and disapproval of Seeman’s actions. The digital space is now filled with a flurry of heated exchanges and debates, with DMK loyalists vehemently defending their late leader and condemning Seeman.
Social Media Frenzy
Following these incidents, NTK functionaries have launched a fierce campaign on social media, sharing the video of Seeman singing the song. The video is being widely circulated, garnering a mix of support and criticism from netizens. NTK supporters are expressing their outrage over Duraimurugan’s arrest, while others are debating the appropriateness of the song’s content and the subsequent legal actions. Meanwhile, DMK supporters are equally active, posting retaliatory content and expressing their displeasure.
