History

In 2010, Thinaboomi's editor S. Manimaran and his son Ramesh Kumar were arrested by the police. The pair subsequently alleged they were harassed due to political pressure as a result of covering the Madurai granite scandal.[1][2][3] In the following years, the Press Council of India and the newly elected Tamil Nadu government supported the editor in his case to get the case dropped.[4][5]
