She was reportedly found in Kerala and she created a ruckus before her arrest. In a viral video, Meera Mithun is seen screaming that the police are trying to harass her. The police are seen talking to her and were asking her to hand over her phone. The video was taken a few minutes before she was arrested by the Crime Branch.

She allegedly said, “In the film industry, SC directors and other people of the community do cheap things. It is time to chuck out all the SC directors and other people from the film industry. In one instance, a director from Paraiyar (SC) community took the first look at my movie.”
After the video went viral on the internet, netizens had asked for her arrest over the casteist slurs made by her in the video. Some people also asked for the arrest of the interviewer who took the video. She is accused under sections 153, 153A(1)(a), 505(1)(b), 505 (2) of IPC and several sections under the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act.
