Members of the Hindu Munnani on Tuesday approached the city police requesting additional security and immediate action against fundamentalists after receiving a threat letter that stated key BJP and Hindu Munnani functionaries would be assassinated.
Police sources said the single-page handwritten letter in Tamil was posted from Palakkad in Kerala and was received at the Hindu Munnani office on Ayya Mudali Street in Chintadripet on Monday. The letter mentioned names of many leaders and stated they would be exterminated by a group called ‘Fatwa’.
Following the threat, the police have beefed up security at the Hindu Munnai and BJP offices, and further probe is under way.
