After folk-singer Kovan’s arrest on October 30 on charges of sedition made headlines, a similar case has been registered against six activists of an anti-liquor group for allegedly making incendiary speeches.

The group was demanding the closure of state-run liquor outlets and the police action has drawn sharp reactions from MDMK and the BJP.

The six activists of 'Makkal Adhikaram' were booked by police for allegedly making inflammatory speeches at the event held on February 14 at Tiruchirappalli.

'Makkal Adhikaram' is a group with Left-leanings and running a campaign seeking closure of state-run liquor outlets.
