A security breach occurred at actor and politician Vijay’s residence in Chennai on Friday, 19 September, when a 24-year-old man, identified as Arun, unlawfully entered the premises despite Y-category security, according to a news report by Hindu Tamil.

The intruder climbed the tree and came through terrace

According to Neelankarai police, the intruder climbed a tree and accessed the terrace of Vijay’s house two nights prior. Vijay reportedly discovered the man during a visit to the terrace, escorted him downstairs, and immediately alerted the police.

A bomb disposal squad was called in to inspect the premises following the trespassing incident. The man was taken into custody and brought to the police station for questioning.

During interrogation, the police identified him as Arun, son of Raja from Madurantakam, and stated he appeared to be mentally disturbed. He has since been admitted to Kilpauk Government Hospital for further treatment.

The breach has raised questions about the effectiveness of Vijay’s security arrangements, especially given his Y-category protection. Authorities are now investigating how the intruder managed to bypass security and reach the actor’s terrace undetected. As of now, Thalapathy Vijay has not made a public statement about the incident.
