Tamil actress Meera Mithun is in the legal trouble. An FIR has been filed against the actress Meera Mithun for using a casteist slur. The case against her has been registered under the SC/ST Act.
Based on the complaint by Vanni Arasu, the leader of Viduthalai Siruthaigal Katchi- VSK, a Dalit party, a case has been registered against controversial Meera Mithun, after a video of the actress making casteist remarks surfaced on the social media sites- Twitter. Meera Mithum was heard asking for all members of the Scheduled Caste community in the Tamil Film industry to be thrown out.
Kollywood actress said, “I am not speaking ill about the members of SC community. But members of the community face the problems mostly because they are involved in the illegal activities and crimes. No one will unnecessarily speak bad about someone without any reason.”
