SC dismisses Tamil Nadu government's plea against ex-DMK Minister EV Velu

The Supreme Court declined to intervene in a Madras High Court order. This order shields former minister EV Velu from coercive action. The High Court had previously directed Velu to join the ongoing investigation. The state government argued against the blanket embargo on arrest. Velu's counsel stated prosecution followed a change in Tamil Nadu's government.
