Police book Meera Mithun for remarks against Dalits

Based on a complaint by Vanni Arasu of Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi, a case has been registered against controversial actress and YouTube star Meera Mithun.

The complaint was filed after a video of her making casteist remarks surfaced on Twitter. The actress can be heard asking for all members of the Scheduled Caste community in the Tamil Film industry to be thrown out.

‘I am not speaking ill about members of the SC community. But the members of the community face problems mostly because they are involved in illegal activities and crimes. No one will unnecessarily speak ill of someone without any reason,’ she said.

Based on Vanni Arasu’s complaint, the police have a filed a case under sections 153, 153A(1)(a), 505(1)(b), 505 (2) of IPC and several sections under SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act.
