The Chennai police has filed a complaint against the Dravida Munnetra Kazagham's MK Stalin over his hunger strike at Marina Beach after the chaos in the Tamil Nadu assembly during which Sasikala loyalist Palaniswami won the trust vote.

Stalin was detained on Saturday after he sat on a hunger strike at Marina beach against the alleged attack on him and his party MLAs during the trust vote in the state assembly.

Terming Saturday as a "black day" for democracy, the senior DMK leader urged all those who wanted to "remove" the "anti-democratic" AIADMK government to join him.

After alleging that he was manhandled in the assembly by the marshals on the day of the vote of confidence, which the Palanisamy government won with a comfortable margin of 122-11, Stalin sat on a protest at the Marina along with his MLAs. However, police detained the protesting MLAs including Stalin.
