A bomb threat was issued to the residence of Vice President CP Radhakrishnan in Chennai on Friday. The threat was reportedly sent to the Tamil Nadu DGP office through email.

Following the alert, a bomb squad and police teams rushed to the Vice President’s residence and conducted a thorough search. After inspection, officials confirmed that the threat was a hoax.

Authorities are now investigating the source of the email and working to trace those responsible for sending the threat.

A bomb threat email was also received at the studio of renowned music director Ilaiyaraaja in T Nagar, Chennai, prompting a swift security response on Tuesday. The email, which was also sent to the Tamil Nadu DGP office, claimed that an explosive device had been planted at the site.

Police teams, along with the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS), conducted a detailed search of Ilaiyaraaja’s studio and surrounding premises. After thorough inspection, authorities confirmed that no explosives were found and declared the threat a hoax.

Last week, Chennai Police received a bomb threat call targeting actor-politician Vijay’s residence in Neelangarai, Tamil Nadu. The caller, believed to be from Kanyakumari, dialed the emergency number 100 and allegedly warned that a bomb would be planted at Vijay’s home if he conducted any future public meetings. Police later declared the threat a hoax.
