Former DMK Minister Anitha R Radhakrishnan was arrested here on Friday following the Madras High Court rejecting his anticipatory bail plea relating to his defamatory speech against Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay, police said.

He was arrested while he was on a visit to Authoor about 23 km from here by the police who escorted him to the waiting police jeep.

Radhakrishnan, representing the Tiruchendur Assembly constituency, had on June 20 made alleged derogatory remarks against the CM Vijay, prompting the TVK to launch a complaint with the police.
