Police have registered a case against Sudha Deenadayalan, a DMK councillor representing Ward 95 in the Villivakkam locality of Chennai, following allegations of making derogatory remarks against Chief Minister M.K. Stalin.
The complaint, filed by an unidentified party, claimed that Deenadayalan used objectionable language while referring to the state's chief minister. The exact nature of the alleged remarks was not immediately disclosed by authorities.
This incident marks another instance of political tension within the ruling DMK's own ranks in Tamil Nadu. The party, which came to power in 2021 with Stalin at the helm, has faced occasional internal friction despite maintaining control over the state administration.
The case has been registered under relevant sections pertaining to defamation and public conduct. Officials said further investigation would determine the veracity of the allegations and the circumstances that led to the purported remarks.
The development comes amid broader political dynamics in the southern state, where the DMK continues to consolidate its position ahead of upcoming electoral cycles.
