Four people have been detained in connection with a disturbing incident that occurred on East Coast Road, where they allegedly chased women in a car using their SUV. The police revealed on Friday that most of the accused are college students, and as of now, four arrests have been made.

Police Deputy Commissioner, AC Karthikeyan, emphasized the swift police action, stating that two SUVs involved in the incident have been seized and further investigations are underway to arrest the remaining suspects. The incident sparked considerable public attention after a videoclip surfaced showing the women being harassed.

An official clarified that although one of the SUVs displayed a DMK flag, the investigation has not found political motives.
