The actor shared a video of the incident on X, claiming that around 15 police personnel had visited his house the previous night. He said the officials did not disclose the identity of the complainant or the reason for the visit despite being asked repeatedly.
In his posts, Balaji maintained that he was not involved in any wrongdoing and said he was willing to undergo a blood test. He also questioned the absence of a search warrant, while claiming that he had allowed the officials to enter and inspect his residence.
The video shows an exchange between the actor and one of the officials, who asks him not to record the proceedings on his mobile phone, warning that the personnel would also record the interaction if he continued.
Balaji responds that he has nothing to hide and invites the officials to search the premises thoroughly. When the official says they had come following calls they had received, the actor asks whether the visit was related to drugs and reiterates his willingness to cooperate.
The official is also heard asking the actor to cooperate, referring to his public profile. Balaji, however, says he had cooperated and had himself invited the personnel inside.
The actor has sought an explanation for the visit and clarity on the complaint that prompted the action. There was no response from the Narcotics Department in the material available at the time of publication. The circumstances and official basis of the search remain unclear.
On the work front, Balaji was last seen playing the antagonist in director J. Sathish Kumar’s film Fire.
