 "Cartoonist Bala arrested in TN for 'defamatory' caricature on Palaniswami")
Tamil Nadu police on Sunday arrested a cartoonist in connection with a caricature that allegedly depicted Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami in a distasteful manner.
The cartoonist, identified as Bala, was arrested after a defamatory case was registered against him.
Bala had allegedly portrayed the chief minister, the state's collector and police commissioner wearing nothing and covering their private parts with money, while a baby burns in front of them.
The caricature was published after a recent incident where a couple and two of their children self-immolated at collectorate, alleging police inaction on usury complaint.
