Chennai Police Probe New Bomb Threat to Vijay’s Home After Karur Stampede

Security at his Neelankarai residence tightened following a threat to plant a bomb if he held future public meetings.

Overview

  • Police said an emergency call from Kanyakumari to 100 threatened to target Vijay’s Neelankarai residence.
  • Investigators are tracing the caller’s identity and location, and additional personnel have been deployed at the house.
  • This is the second such threat reported since the Karur rally, with a similar call logged on September 29.
  • State police report 41 dead and at least 60 injured in the September 27 stampede, with about 30,000 people at a venue built for roughly 10,000.
  • Legal fallout continues as Vijay announced compensation and paused his tour, the Madras High Court criticised his response, TVK sought a Supreme Court‑monitored probe alleging SIT bias, and a victim’s father requested a CBI inquiry.
