Web search reveals a serious 2025 kidnapping/abduction case involving a minor boy that is not reflected in the affidavit's 7 criminal cases. In May 2025, Moorthy was accused of involvement in abducting a minor boy in Thiruvallur district, and the Madras High Court criticized him for 'misusing political power' to obstruct the investigation. The Supreme Court granted him anticipatory bail in July 2025. This recent, serious allegation involving a minor does not appear to be captured in the declared criminal cases.

Public perception of Jegan Moorthy is currently dominated by the serious 2025 abduction case involving a minor, with the Madras High Court criticizing him for misusing political power to obstruct justice. While the Supreme Court granted him bail citing a clean prior record, the case has raised concerns about political interference in law enforcement and overshadowed his electoral success and work as an MLA.
