A bomb threat made to the house of Leader of Opposition Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Tuesday night was found to be a hoax.

Police said a mail was received which said that a bomb has been planted in Mr. Palaniswami’s official residence on Greenways Road. Immediately, a bomb detection and disposal squad along with a dog was deputed to his house. After a thorough check, the BDDS team found the bomb threat to be a hoax.
