Noted orator and thinker Sunil P Elayidom, who strongly advocates implementation of Supreme Court verdict allowing entry of women of all ages into Sabarimala temple, Thursday received threats from unidentified persons, police said.
A complaint has also been lodged with the police 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 broken, they said adding a probe has been launched on the basis of the complaint filed by the University authorities.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan condemned the "attack" on Elayidom's office.
In a statement, Vijayan said Elayidom's office was "attacked as he took a strong stand against the communal agenda of RSS."
"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. Then also, I did not file a complaint with the police."
