Chennai: The Cyber Crime Police of Tiruvallur district has arrested a Gana singer after a video of his song about minor girls with obscene content went viral on social media.
According to the police, singer Saran is seen in the video uploaded last year on YouTube singing lyrics which insinuates that he sexually assaulted a girl and got her pregnant as a way of ensuring she stays with him.
As the video went viral and came to the notice of Tiruvallur Superintendent of Police RV Varun Kumar, the SP ordered for action against the singer.
While it was earlier circulated on social media claiming that he performed the song at the cultural event organised by film director Pa Ranjith, it was later clarified it was a different event.
Saravedi Saran aka Saravanan became popular following his YouTube channel in which he has been posting videos of him singing gana songs penned and composed by him. He also has sung in films.
