Tamil Nadu: BJP’s Pravin Raj Arrested; Congress MP Jothimani Says Arrest Is For "Obscene Video" Of Rahul-Priyanka

Pravin Raj, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) functionary in Tamil Nadu, was arrested early this morning (1 October) for allegedly derogatory posts on social media.

While BJP industrial wing vice-president Selvakumar earlier said that the arrest was for a video regarding the protests on the Cauvey water issue in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, Jothimani, an MP from the Congress, which is an alliance partner of the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) said that the arrest was based on a complaint from the Karur District Congress Committee for editing and publishing an "obscene video" on Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi.
