The iconic Vadapalani Murugan Temple was the target of a bomb threat late Sunday night, which turned out to be a hoax, creating a brief period of alarm among authorities and devotees.
According to reports, an unidentified individual called the police control room and issued a bomb threat, claiming that the temple was under immediate danger. Acting swiftly, the police informed temple authorities and conducted a thorough inspection of the premises after it reopened on Monday morning.
After a detailed search operation, the threat was confirmed to be baseless. The temple resumed regular activities soon after the inspection.
