The folk singer, Kovan, popularly known for using his music as a platform for activism, was arrested in 2018 after performing a song at a protest that mocked a pilgrimage related to the construction of a temple on disputed land in Ayodhya. The song went viral on social media, leading to his arrest. Sivadas was released on bail shortly after. As of 2025, he does not appear to be facing any immediate threats, though his activism continues to spark attention.
