Former Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin was released on Tuesday after being taken into police custody earlier in the day in connection with his alleged double-entendre remarks about actor Trisha. Following his release, Udhayanidhi met his father, where he received a warm welcome from party workers and supporters. Speaking to reporters after his release, Udhayanidhi alleged that the police treated him "like a terrorist" during the operation. "They took us by road from Chennai to Thanjavur, a distance of nearly 400 kilometres, with around 3,000 police personnel deployed. Every mother and sister in Tamil Nadu is part of my family," he said.
