Seeman sentenced to 1 year imprisonment

Director Seeman has been sentenced to one year imprisonment by the Puducherry court. Seeman, who was arrested by the Tamil Nadu police, was out on bail for delivering speeches on the Sri Lankan issue, which was considered to be detrimental to India’s sovereignty.

The director’s recent speech at an event in Puducherry again fueled controversies and the Puducherry police were on the look out for him.

Seeman ultimately surrendered in Nellai after participating in yet another Sri Lankan rally. The case against Seeman for sedition was taken up by the Puducherry court and he was sentenced to one year imprisonment under the National Security Act. This is probably the first time a director from the Tamil film industry is being sentenced under this Act.
