The wife of the detained BJP MLA T Raja Singh today met Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan and urged her to intervene into the issue of the arrest of her husband under the PD Act by the police.
T Usha Bai was accompanied by her sisters during her meeting with the Governor.
She submitted a representation to the Governor stating that the police had illegally arrested her husband, and added that he had been arrested similarly several times in the past too.
She urged the Governor to take steps for the quashing of the invoking of the PD Act against her husband by the police.
For the unversed, Singh was arrested by the police following the release of a video by him on YouTube allegedly making insulting remarks against the Prophet of Islam.
The remarks had caused an uproar and resulted in his suspension from his party. He was also removed from the post of BJLP leader in the Assembly.
