KOCHI: The police recorded the statement of actor Bala in response to a complaint that he entered the residence of a YouTube vlogger and confronted him allegedly carrying a gun. However, the police reported that no gun was found during the search. The Thrikkakkara police registered a case against Bala based on a complaint filed by YouTuber Aju Alex.

According to the complaint, Bala arrived at the apartment and expressed his anger by damaging Aju’s clothes in response to a video uploaded on Aju's YouTube channel that criticized Bala. Subsequently, Bala damaged the background set used for the video and supposedly issued threats suggesting that he will face more such instances if the video was not deleted. On the previous night, a video of Santhosh Varki apologizing for derogatory remarks about certain prominent actors in the film industry had circulated on social media. Aju Alex had shared the video, questioning whether it was appropriate to make such an apology. Aju stated that this incident led to the confrontation.

However, Bala clarified that Aju's accusations are unfounded. He denied the claim that he visited the location with a gun and asserted that he did not issue any threats. Bala also explained that his reaction was prompted by the use of offensive language in Aju Alex's videos.
