Tamil cinema stunt master and Hindu Munnani leader Kanal Kannan has been arrested by the police for posting a video of a Christian priest dancing with a woman.
In a tweet along with the video, Kannan had written in Tamil, "This is the true state of foreign religions. Converted Hindus should think about it and change their mind."
The arrest was based on a complaint by Austin Bennet, an office-bearer of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) IT Wing. Bennet alleged that the video was posted with the intention to defame Christianity.
The Hindu Munnani has condemned the arrest and announced protests against the government.
Kannan was arrested last year for calling for the removal of the statue of EV Ramasamy near the Srirangam Temple.
