Trouble has been mounting for controversial actress Meera Mithun as, after she was taken under judicial custody, the Chennai police is considering slapped a case against her under the Goondas Act. Meera Mithun is one of the notorious faces in Tamil Nadu and with the tag of popularity that she got through taking part in the Bigg Boss Tamil, she has been instigating furore and has got into the spotlight through controversies.

Recently, her remarks against the people of scheduled caste that she made on social media stirred outrage across the state. She went on to say that the artists in the Tamil film industry who are from the scheduled caste must also be removed from the industry.  Her speech had gone viral with the demand to take action against her. VCK leader Vanniarasu had moved his complaint against Meera Mithun urging the police to book the actor under sections of the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act.

Based on the complaint, the Central Crime Branch of the Chennai Police had registered a case against Meera Mithun under sections 153 - wantonly giving provocation with the intent of cause riot, 153A1- promoting disharmony and enmity by words, 505 (1)(b) - intent to cause fear of any section, 505 (2) - public mischief of IPC and three other sections of the SC/ST Act. After knowing that a case was registered against her, Meera Mithun has absconded and the police team had issued summon to her to appear for investigation. However, she was at large and was releasing videos on social media against the police. 

In one of her videos, Meera Mithun said, "You can arrest me. Hasn't Gandhi and Nehru go to jail at all? You can't arrest me and it will happen only in the dream. I haven't insulted all the people who belong to the scheduled caste. I made such remarks against those who had disturbed me." It has become her open challenge to the police to arrest her. After her atrocities had gone high, the police had intensified the search to nab and they received the tipoff that the controversial actress is hiding in Alappuzha, Kerala. Based on the tipoff, the police had rushed to the neighbouring state and traced her locality.

After the incessant search, the Tamil Nadu police had finally arrested her on Saturday from Kerala. Following the arrest, the police are now making arrangements to bring her to Chennai for further investigations. It has been reported that she was staying at a hotel and there were shocking events during her arrest saga. According to reports, when the police officials had tried to arrest her, Meera Mithun had started screaming and begun to videography the event and threatened that she will stab her to death if the police touch her. However, the police had managed to arrest her and she was brought to Chennai on Sunday. 

She was produced before a court in Saidapet on Sunday and while she was brought to the court, Meera Mithun had claimed that she was not provided food for one full day after her arrest. However, after hearing the matter, the judge had ordered the police to take her under judicial custody till August 27 and following the order, the police had lodged the actress in Puzhal prison. According to reports, the police had also arrested Meera Mithun's friend Abhishek Shyam, who was seen with her in a video in which she made derogatory remarks. The police have remanded Shyam into judicial custody on Monday. 

It has been reported that Meera Mithun had insulted the police officers on her way from Kerala to Chennai and didn't extend cooperation for the investigation in Chennai and as the actress had many cases pending against her, the reports say that the police will most likely book her under the Goondas Act, which would make her difficult to obtain the bail. It must be noted that earlier the Chennai police had slapped Goondas Act against controversial YouTubers Kishore K Swamy and Pubg Madan and both are facing incarceration. In line with that Meera Mithun will also be facing the robust charge of the Goondas Act.
