Director “V. Gowthaman,” a staunch supporter of Jallikattu was arrested during the protest to lift the ban on Jallikattu. The director already stated that he would be going to Madurai and host Jallikattu along with the people. During the protest, actor “
Arya
,” who was against Jallikattu joined them. Seeing him, the crowd became angry and shouted against the actor. As the situation was unfavorable for him, Arya returned. Later, the police assaulted and arrested Gowthaman for supporting Jallikattu. Along with Gowthaman, they arrested a few more people. While arresting a youngster, the police handled him roughly; they pulled his collars and dragged him into the police van. Jallikattu enthusiasts say that neither the government nor the Supreme Court supports native cattle breeding. Importing the foreign breed will pave the way for the exploitation of native breed that gave us the good health.
