Daughter of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi and Paliamentarian, K. Kanimozhi along with two other members of parliament and over a thousand other protesters were taken into custody by the Chennai Police today after staging a protest in front of the Sri Lankan Embassy.

Parliamentarians, D.K.S. Illangaran and J. Anbalahan were also arrested in the incident.
