Modi- Xi Jinping meet: Tibetan independence activists arrested in Chennai
Days ahead of the bilateral summit between PM Modi and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping, the state police have arrested nine activists along with Tibetan activist and writer Tenzin Tsundue.
According to the police, the Tibetans had reportedly planned a protest during Premier Xi's visit to Mahabalipuram calling for the independence of the tense region under the Chinese state.
Moreover, police have refused to state the grounds on which the arrest was done.
Villupuram police confirmed to TNM that Tenzin was remanded after he was booked under Section 7(1)(a) of The Criminal Law Amendment Act.
CCTV cameras have been installed across the town as well as on the outskirts for round-the-clock surveillance.
