Bhuvanesh arrested by the police on July 19
According to the report, the police traced the anonymous caller's number and arrested him on Sunday, July 19. Reportedly, the perpetrator was Bhuvanesh, whom the police arrested the previous month after Thalapathy Vijay's Saligramam residence received similar threat calls. The police allegedly left Bhuvanesh the last time with a warning. However, after Thala Ajith's house incident, they handed over Bhuvanesh to Neelangarai police for further inquiry, claimed the media report.
Reportedly, Bhuvanesh has hoaxed similar threat calls in the past to former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa's residence too. According to reports, the accused Bhuvanesh is a mentally ill person who has engaged in such activities previously.
