Meera Mitun, a Tamil actress who was earlier scheduled to be booked for her reported casteist remarks on social media. Now, she has been arrested by the Cyber Crime Wing of Tamil Nadu Police from Kerala.

Actress Mitun was arrested after she failed to appear before the police on August 12. A case was registered against her based on a complaint filed by Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi leader and former MP Vanni Arasu. The Tamil Nadu Untouchability Eradication Front had also filed a complaint against Mitun. She was booked under seven provisions of the Indian Penal Code and Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Prevention of Atrocities Act for the casteist slur. The actress published a video on her Twitter handle, which had gone viral. In the video, Meera purportedly said, "I am not speaking ill about members of the SC community. The members of the community face problems mostly because of their involvement in illegal activities and crimes."

She had also said that in the movie industry, SC directors and other people from the community do "cheap things". VCK chief and MP Thol Thiruvamavalavan had shared the video on his Instagram and stated that both the actor and her interviewer should be booked by the police. She also screamed in front of the camera and asked why a woman is being tortured. Later, she also alleged that the cops were harassing her.
