Noted orator and thinker Sunil P Elayidom, who strongly argues for implementation of Supreme Court verdict permitting entry of all women into Sabarimala temple, Thursday received threats from unidentified persons, police said.
A complaint has been lodged alleging that danger marks were drawn in saffron colour on the doors of Elayidom's office at Kalady Sanskrit University.
Besides, the nameboard of Elayidom, who is a Malayalam language professor at the university, was also found destroyed, they said adding a probe has been launched on the basis of the complaint filed by the University authorities.
Elayidom alleged that he had been receiving threats and abusive messages through social media from members of rightwing Hindu outfits since he started speaking on public platforms supporting the Supreme Court verdict on Sabarimala women entry issue.
Elayidom, who is a former leader of the Students Federation of India, said he has no plans to seek police protection in view of rising threats.
"I have been talking against the Hindutva politics for the last four, five years. I am not scared", Elayidom told PTI.
He said, "recently, a threat message, saying that I should be stoned to death was received on my Facebook page."
