The development comes when the ADMK has been bracing up a debacle in the local body polls after the ruling DMK has secured a comfortable sweep across the state.
The opposition party is witnessing yet another magnificent victory of the DMK, which is all set to reign the local bodies including the ADMK's stronghold.
DMK is marching towards a magnificent victory and as of 11.30 am, the party has been leading in more than 70% of the entire urban local bodies in the state.
The events that unfolded on Monday had become a spear for the opposition parties to attack the ruling DMK and the police for what they called the arrest due to political vendetta.
A former ADMK Minister had campaigned for the BJP, though both parties had parted ways from their alliance owing to the non-consensus over seat allocation.
