Udhayanidhi Stalin's Recent Remarks and Detention
The controversy involving Udhayanidhi Stalin erupted on Monday, August 3, 2026, during a Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) protest in Thanjavur concerning the Cauvery water dispute. While addressing the gathering and criticising Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay for allegedly failing to secure Cauvery water for Tamil Nadu, Stalin was interrupted by members of the audience chanting "Trisha, Trisha."
Stalin paused, smiled, and then made a remark in Tamil that was instantly widely interpreted as a sexual innuendo or a 'double-meaning' comment directed at the actress, linking her to Chief Minister Vijay. Although he subsequently clarified that he was referring to the Cauvery water issue, the timing and nature of the comment led to immediate and widespread condemnation.
The remark quickly went viral on social media, drawing sharp criticism from various political parties, including the ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), the Congress, and the BJP. TVK MLA Rhevanth Charan denounced the comments as "absolutely disgusting," saying such acts expose the mindset and declining standards of the DMK.
Responding to a complaint filed by a TVK functionary, the Thanjavur East Police registered an FIR against Udhayanidhi Stalin. He was arrested on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, under Sections 196, 192, 352, 79, 296(b), 61 & 351(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Section 4 of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Women Act, 2002, and Section 67 of the Information Technology Act. BNS Section 79 specifically deals with insulting the modesty of a woman.
Udhayanidhi Stalin, who was questioned for over an hour before being released on station bail, denied the allegations. He maintained that his comments had been deliberately misrepresented and taken out of context for political gain, insisting his speech was solely focused on the Cauvery issue. He also alleged that he was treated "like a terrorist" during his detention. Udhayanidhi Stalin Detained After TVK Complaint Over Alleged Remarks on Actress Trisha Krishnan (Video).
