He added, “He was caught red-handed at the height of his career. “Are you scared? It’s going to get much more terrifying as we go on,” he wrote in his post, urging the chief minister to avoid dramatic punchlines when addressing serious issues such as drug trafficking.

The former Tamil Nadu chief minister said preliminary investigations indicated that Boopalan had been concealing 135 kilograms of methamphetamine, despite the state government’s public stance on eradicating drugs.

Stalin said Boopalan, a TVK functionary from Nagapattinam district who serves as the party’s election in-charge for the Kilvelur Assembly constituency, had been arrested by officials of the Union government’s Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI).
