There were some bomb threats to the hotels in Tirupathi and Tirumala.But later they were proved to be hoax calls.
The hotels in Leela Mahal, Kapila Theertham and Alipiri areas received the email on Thursday evening, police said.
“Pak ISI to activate Improvised EDs in listed hotels, Evacuated by 11PM! TN CM involved,” read the email received by the hotel.
The email mentions that due to the recent arrest of Jaffer Sadiq of DMK, “international pressure” has mounted.
Jaffer Sadiq, a former member of Tamil Nadu’s ruling party DMK. He was arrested in February this year, by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on charges of smuggling narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances. The email also links Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin to the case.
“Thus, such blasts (sic) in schools are necessary to divert attention away from M. K. Stalin family’s involvement in the case,” added the email.
Police rushed to the hotels after being informed about the threatening email. They with the help of sniffer dogs conducted a thorough search at all three hotels but found nothing suspicious.
The police were investigating to find the source of the threats.
