The Thirunavalur police have booked a case against Vaidyanathan, accused in the Aavin adulteration scam, and his brother for threatening a Food Safety Inspector over phone. An audio clip of the duo threatening the official later went viral on WhatsApp.

According to the police, the Food Safety Inspector Kathiravan reportedly served a notice on a milk chilling plant of Mr. Vaidyanathan at Parikal near Ulundurpet during a visit a few days ago for functioning without a licence.
