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.
Signs of unrest within the Trinamool Congress appear to be growing, with reports suggesting that discontent is no longer confined to the party's ranks in West Bengal. Sources indicate that several MPs are now in touch with the rebel camp that has already challenged the party leadership, raising questions about whether the crisis could spread from the Assembly to Parliament. At the heart of the unease, sources say, are concerns over internal power dynamics and the growing influence of Abhishek Banerjee within the party. Some leaders are reportedly demanding a greater role in decision-making, while others are said to be unhappy with the current balance of power. With one MP already stepping down and rebel voices growing louder, the focus is now on whether Mamata Banerjee can contain the dissent before it develops into a larger political challenge for the Trinamool Congress.
