DMK also suspended two functionaries Praveen and Ekkambaram from DMK youth wing for anti-party activities. 

Chennai: Two DMK functionaries were arrested by Chennai police on Wednesday for misbehaving with woman police last week. The two DMK functionaries allegedly harassed a Chennai police constable during DMK public meeting.

According to ANI, police officials said, “DMK's two functionaries Praveen and Ekkambaram arrested by Chennai Police and sent to judicial custody. The case was registered u/s 353,354 IPC r/w 4 of Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Woman Act, 1998.”

Both of them were DMK party's youth wing functionaries.

On December 31, two DMK functionaries harassed a woman police personnel while she was on duty during a public meeting of the party at Virugambakkam. 

The incident took place while senior DMK leaders including Kanimozhi, Thamizhachi Thangapandian, Ma Subramaniam and MLA Prabhakar Raja were taking part in the event.

The event was conducted to celebrate the centenary year of former DMK general secretary Anbazhagan.

Following the harassment, the woman gave a complaint to the Valasaravakkam police station against the duo.
