Kushbhu arrested

Recently, a video which had Thol. Thirumavalavan, Member of Parliament (MP), was seen quoting portions from Manusmriti regarding the status of women. Thirumavalavan, who is the president of Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), was alleged to have made derogatory remarks on women quoting Manusmriti.

This had turned controversial, and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) filed an online complaint to the Cyber Crime of the Tamil Nadu Police for making degrading comments on women. Following this, BJP women's wing had planned a protest against Thirumavalavan, and actress Kushbhu who recently joined BJP was planning to join the protest.

However Kushbhu was arrested at Muttukadu when she was on her way to Chidambaram for the protest. Following this arrest, Kushbhu tweeted Arrested.. been taken in police van. we will fight till our last breath for the dignity of women.
