Details of the Bomb Threats

According to reports, unknown individuals sent emails to the Director General of Police (DGP). These messages claimed that explosives had been planted at the homes of both Rajinikanth and Dhanush, as well as at the residence of K Sevalperunthagai, the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president.

Upon receiving the emails, Teynampet police conducted a security check at Rajinikanth’s house with a bomb detection unit. Security personnel at the home confirmed that no unauthorized individuals had gained access, indicating that the threat was likely a hoax. The police also investigated the residences of other individuals mentioned in the emails, finding no evidence of any explosives.

This incident follows a series of bomb threats targeting a number of prominent figures in Chennai. On October 2, similar emails were sent to the DGP regarding several VIPs’ residences, including actress Trisha Krishnan’s home.

On October 9, a 37-year-old man named Shabik was arrested for making threats involving actor Vijay’s home. Following that, on October 14, Ilaiyaraaja’s studio was also targeted.
