Right-wing YouTuber and political commentator Maridhas has been arrested by Chennai Cyber Crime Police after being picked up from his residence in Madurai. Police have reportedly booked him under multiple sections, including provisions related to spreading alleged fake information and online offences. Sources say the action is linked to remarks and content posted against Chief Minister Vijay, state ministers and other political figures.
The arrest has triggered a sharp political reaction, with the BJP and AIADMK accusing the government of targeting dissenting voices and curbing freedom of expression. Supporters of the government, however, argue that the case relates to the dissemination of alleged misinformation and defamatory content. As Maridhas is brought to Chennai for further questioning, the controversy has reignited the debate over the line between political criticism, misinformation and free speech in Tamil Nadu.
