Chennai: MK Stalin, former Deputy Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, has been taken into police custody in Chennai for leading a demonstration attended by nearly 3000 people. The police say that Mr Stalin does not have permission for his gathering.
The DMK is holding protests across the state against what it describes as the government's vendetta. In the last few weeks, several politicians close to DMK chief M Karunanidhi have been arrested on charges that include land-grabbing.
"Let the Tamil Nadu government probe from 2001. Land grabbing by AIADMK leaders will come to light," said Stalin.
Mr Stalin is Mr Karunanidhi's younger son. The DMK lost the elections in May, which led to Mr Karunanidhi being replaced as Chief Minister by J Jayalalithaa.
Last week, senior police officers seen as DMK loyalists were raided.
The DMK and Jayalalithaa's AIADMK share a long and vicious history of political rivalry, manifested regularly through court and police cases against each other
