"The protestors gathered without authorisation near a high-security zone. They were taken into preventive custody to maintain public order and clear the area," a senior police official said.
A senior police officer said that Arivu and three others were taken into custody for protesting in a restricted area. The detention, however, was brief.
Later, CM Vijay opened the doors for him and invited him inside the Secretariat to seemingly have a word. It has been said that Arivu was also invited by the office of the State Minister for Public Works and Sports Development, Aadhav Arjuna.
In another video, he was seen being escorted inside the government office by a group of people. However, later, he was seen walking out with Arjuna.
For those unversed about Arivu's stardom, he's a well-known Indian rapper, singer, songwriter, and activist, and has sung Enjoy Enjaami and Vaathi Raid and Thalapathy Kacheri in Vijay's ‘Jana Nayagan’, which is set to release on July 23rd.
