Sources : The Chennai City Police formally arrests YouTuber Maridass in Cr. No. 253 of 2020. This case pertains to publishing a fake email purported to be that of News18 Digital Editor.
Earlier, before this complaint, the News18 management filed a complaint for 1/5
creating hatred, communal disharmony, etc. against Maridass. This complaint was prepared in Mumbai after consulting legal team of News18 Group.
The then Addl CoP CCB, Ms. Thenmozhi, IPS, who continues till now, refused to register an FIR in the News 18 complaint saying 2/5
‘no case is made out’. Subsequently, News18 management filed a second complaint for forging their email and publishing it as genuine.
Even after receipt of this compliant, Thenmozhi refused to register an FIR, but after media pressure, she finally relented, 3/5
but failed to arrest Maridass. @mkstalin for reasons that are not clear, is allowing certain officers like Ms. Thenmozhi to continue in coveted posts, even though they were very close to the previous ADMK regime & enjoyed powerful posts.
4/5
Though Maridass is arrested in the Email case today, the continuous handling of this case by Ms. Thenmozhi may lead to leakage of information to BJP leaders. 5/5

He says in his order “It has already been noted “Tamil Thai Vaazhthu” is a prayer song and not an Anthem. There is no statutory or executive order requiring the attendees to stand up when Tamil Thai Vaazhthu is sung. But highest reverence and respect ought to be 2/n
