Thank you Viren.
As you can see, you have misread me. I said the police must have some credible evidence. And I said 'not while Jeya is in power', because she is a devout bakta (no matter her political machinations), and, of all the TN politicians, she is the closest and most supportive of JS. And that she would not purposely and mindlessly do such a thing to alienate her base. Do not be misled by the TN athiest politicians, the TN people ARE religious.
Anyway, it is not for her to decide the arrest or not; the investigating officer makes that decision and the PP prepares the charges based on the officer's file. The police merely informs the minister of their decision, and at most she can only delay the arrest, which I think she did. These are the normal police routines all over the world.
I did not say that 'jeya can do no wrong'. Hope this clarifies.
Regards.

Pathmarajah,
I know that Hindus are assaulted heavily on the caste issue, so it gives an impression that we are the only ones with a caste (portuguese word) system.
Do some research on Arab castes, and especially Japan (Burakamin are Japanese untouchables). Japan's industrialization gives many ideas on where India will head in the future.
All the caste problems are in rural villages or in Bihar overwhemingly.
Even today in Japan there is so called caste discrimination. This may make some interesting reading:
