As security officials surrounded him, the man kept asking them to stay away. Security officers, however, managed to rein him in and hand him over to the police.
Reports say that Vimalraj appears to be of unsound mind.
The incident took place at around 10 am, when the chief minister was in the building. He was preparing to leave the Kerala House for the CPM politburo meeting.
Earlier today, a man was shot dead as he forcibly tried to enter former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah’s residence.
