**Coimbatore, May 23, 2025 (The Hindu)** – S.P. Velumani, AIADMK MLA representing the Thondamuthur constituency in Coimbatore and former Minister, has received an anonymous letter threatening his family and warning of a bomb blast in Coimbatore before July 30, 2025.

The threatening letter, delivered via post and undersigned with “Allahu Akbar Pakistan Zindabad,” demanded ₹1 crore (approximately $12,000 USD) be placed at a specified location in Coimbatore on May 25th. The letter threatened the death of three family members if the demand was not met.

K. Damodaran, an advocate and AIADMK functionary, filed a petition with the Coimbatore City Police Commissioner on Thursday, May 22nd, requesting an immediate investigation and increased security for Mr. Velumani and his family. The petition notes that the letter bears postal stamps from the Kalapatti and Kuniyamuthur post offices, dated May 15th and May 16th respectively. Mr. Velumani reportedly discovered the letter on Thursday after returning from a 10-day absence.

The letter also stated claims of the AIADMK leader possessing black money and included instructions for placing the money in a bag without GPS tracking at a dumping site on Kalapatti-Vellanapatti road. It threatened violence against the MLA and his family if the police were contacted or an attempt to track the sender was made.
