Bomb Threats to MK Stalin, Ajith Kumar, Aravind Swamy & Khushbu Trigger Nightlong Searches in Chennai

Chennai witnessed a night of tension on Sunday after a bomb threat email targeted the residence of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin and actors Ajith Kumar, Aravind Swamy and Khushbu. The message, sent to the state’s Director General of Police (DGP) office, triggered an immediate and high-priority security response across the city.

Police teams rushed to all four locations, conducting detailed searches of the premises and surrounding areas. Bomb squad units were deployed, especially to Ajith Kumar’s residence along the East Coast Road (ECR), where officers combed through the property for hours. After a thorough inspection, investigators confirmed it was a hoax. Authorities have not revealed any information about the sender of the threat email.

This incident came shortly after a similar threat was issued against actor Arun Vijay. The DGP office had recently received an email claiming a bomb was placed at his Ekkattuthangal residence. Police and bomb disposal experts searched the home but found no explosive materials.

The spate of hoax threats has raised concern among Chennai’s high-profile residents. Just last month, composer Ilaiyaraaja’s T Nagar studio was targeted with a fake bomb alert, adding to the growing list of such false alarms.

While no explosives were found in any of these cases, police say they are taking every threat seriously and are working to identify the individuals behind these recurring hoax emails.
