On a day when several people expressed solidarity with actor Vinayakan, who was arrested by the police on Tuesday for allegedly creating a ruckus at the Ernakulam North police station, the police sought to dismiss the allegation that he was handled with kid gloves.
Among those who accused the police of being soft-handed with the actor was Uma Thomas, MLA, who asked if it was done so because he was a ‘comrade’.
Mr. Vinayakan was arrested by the police on Tuesday evening. Earlier in the day, some police officers from the Ernakulam North station were at his apartment after they received a call, reportedly from the actor, about a dispute between him and his wife. In the evening, however, Mr. Vinayakan went to the police station and apparently demanded to know the identity of some officers who were part of the team that visited his apartment.
