The Estate Police Station in the city received an email claiming that a bomb had been planted at the Vice President's residence in the Mylapore area.

Senior police officials, along with the sniffer dog squad and bomb detection experts, immediately mobilised in response to the high-security alert. Police sources confirmed that C. P. Radhakrishnan, who assumed office as Vice President in September this year, had vacated the Mylapore property over a year ago.

He is currently residing in a rented apartment in the high-profile Poes Garden area in Chennai. Following protocols for VIP security threats, the security teams proceeded to the Poes Garden residence. However, the premises were found locked upon arrival, preventing the bomb experts from conducting a physical search inside the apartment.
