Seeman out on bail

Director Seeman, who had been languishing in jail for several months, is finally out on bail. It may be recalled that Seeman was arrested for his speeches that were considered to be against the sovereignty of India. The High Court of Madras recently held that Seeman’a arrest under the National Security Act was not valid. However, he could not be released from jail, as yet another case, registered in Puducherry was pending against him. This case came up for hearing yesterday, and Seeman was granted bail facilitating his release.

The director, soon after his release, participated in the audio launch function of Mayandi Kudumbathar in which he plays a prominent role. The film is directed by Rasu Madhuvaran and has nine other directors apart from Seeman.
