There was a commotion and a momentary reaction of alarm during Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay's unscheduled road walk in Kolathur here on Friday when an unidentified man breached police security, attempting to lunge towards the CM.
However, the chief minister's security personnel immediately surrounded and overpowered him. The man has been detained for questioning, police said.
The incident happened when Vijay got
down from his convoy and made a public appearance before proceeding to distribute cake to school children during the Children's Day celebration.
As he walked through a crowd, there was a momentary commotion when an individual suddenly breezed past Social Welfare and Women Empowerment Minister K Jegadeshwari, who, along with others, was walking behind Vijay, and attempted to lunge towards the CM, briefly startling Vijay and his security personnel.
