Rapper Arivu detained at TN Secretariat protest

Rapper Arivu was detained by Chennai police while protesting outside the Tamil Nadu Secretariat against police action on students and NEET exams.

Arivu released a statement calling for the Government of India to stop violence against students protesting NEET irregularities, and urged Tamil Nadu to support them.

Arivu stated he met Minister Adhav Arjuna inside the Secretariat, not Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay.

The protests followed the July 20 police action against students in Delhi during the Chalo Sansad march.
