CHENNAI: Weeks after the tragic Karur stampede that claimed 41 lives during a party event, a bomb threat was received at the residence of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief and actor C. Joseph Vijay on Thursday. However, after hours of search, police have confirmed that the threat was a hoax and have begun an investigation to trace the caller.
According to senior police officials, an anonymous message warned of explosives at Vijay’s home.
Swiftly responding, bomb disposal squads and local police conducted an extensive search and confirmed the threat was false.
