Jana Nayagan leak row: CCTV operator detained for watching Vijay's film during election duty

In a startling breach of election duty, a CCTV operator assigned to monitor polling activities at Anna University was detained after being caught watching the leaked version of actor Vijay’s unreleased film Jana Nayagan. The operator, identified as Yuvaraj, had been hired on a contract basis for surveillance duty on election day. Instead of monitoring the polling process, he reportedly streamed the film inside the control room and went on to share photos and video clips of himself indulging in the activity on his



Facebook page.  

Authorities confirmed that Jana Nayagan is still awaiting clearance from the censor board and has not been officially released. The unauthorised viewing and online sharing of the film from a sensitive election surveillance facility has raised serious concerns about both the integrity of poll duty and the handling of unreleased content.  

Yuvaraj has since been detained and officials are investigating how he accessed the leaked film while on duty.
