Balaji Murugadoss Challenges Tamil Nadu Police Version of Drug Search, Says CCTV Footage Will Expose ‘Blatant Lie’

Chennai, November 10, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)

Actor Balaji Murugadoss’s war of words with the Tamil Nadu Police has intensified after the Avadi Police Commissionerate rejected his claim that 15 personnel searched his residence, maintaining that the operation involved only an inspector and three police personnel and was conducted in accordance with legal procedure.

The actor, however, has disputed the police account and threatened to produce CCTV footage in court to challenge its version of events.

The controversy began after Murugadoss shared a video on social media showing officials arriving at his residence and conducting a search. Questioning the basis for the operation, he claimed that 15 police personnel from the Narcotics Department had visited his home and demanded to know who had lodged the complaint against him.

In posts on X, the actor said he was willing to undergo a blood test to establish that he had nothing to hide. He also questioned why the officials had not disclosed the complaint’s details and alleged that no search warrant had been shown to him. He said he had allowed the officials inside because he was confident of his innocence.

Responding to his allegations, the Avadi Police Commissionerate issued a clarification stating that a search was conducted at his premises in Prestige Windsor Park apartment, Thiruverkadu, following inputs regarding drugs.

The police said the required procedural entries had been made under the applicable statute and that the search team comprised one inspector and three police personnel. It also maintained that the occupants were treated courteously throughout the operation.

Reacting to the clarification on Tuesday, Murugadoss accused the police of making a false statement and objected to the department tagging media organisations in its post. He asserted that CCTV footage would expose the alleged discrepancies when the matter came before the court.

On the professional front, Murugadoss was last seen playing the antagonist in director J. Sathish Kumar’s film Fire.
