Chennai, Nov 11:
Balaji Murugadoss has strongly dismissed the Tamil Nadu Police’s official clarification regarding a search conducted at his residence, stating that CCTV footage will expose the department in court.
The confrontation began after the actor posted a video on social media showing narcotics department officials entering his apartment at Prestige Windsor Park in Thiruverkadu, demanding an explanation and asking Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay who had lodged the complaint. In response, the Avadi Police Commissionerate issued a clarification stating that a team comprising one inspector and three personnel carried out a lawful search following statutory procedures based on drug-related inputs, treating the occupants courteously.
Rejecting the police version, Balaji responded online: “I’m really shocked! Not for their blatant lie, but for the way they tagged all the media. @avadipolice CCTV footage is going to scream ‘shame on you’ in court.” The actor insisted that as many as 15 personnel visited his flat, leaving only after finding nothing incriminating.
