Tamil Nadu on Friday witnessed sporadic protests against the killing of 20 alleged red sander smugglers by Andhra Pradesh Police on April 7.
MDMK general secretary Vaiko and his party cadres were detained in Vellore when he attempted to lead a protest rally to Andhra Pradesh and picket the Chittoor district collector's office.
