DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin, who was arrested on Tuesday for alleged insulting double meaning remark, was questioned at Sengipatti police station near Thanjavur, party sources said. Police, in view of a huge gathering of party workers at Thanjavur town, have “taken a u-turn” and brought Udhayanidhi to Sengipatti police station, which is about 27 km away from the Cauvery delta town, they said. The DMK top leader was originally scheduled to be taken to Thanjavur East Town PS for questioning.
However, the police often changed the routes towards the destination, sources claimed. As word spread about the stationing of the vehicle carrying Udhayanidhi, a huge crowd of party workers gathered at Sengipatti as well and raised slogans praising him and condemning the TVK regime.
