A 21-year-old youth, who allegedly telephoned to the police control room that a bomb would go off at the residence of popular Tamil film actor Ajith was detained from Madurai, police said today.
Santhosh was picked up from Kunnathur village near Madurai by tracking his mobile handset IMEI number. He was brought to Chennai for questioning, police said.
On August 29, he made a phone call to the police control room here that a bomb was planted at the residence of the actor and it would go off.
The call kept police and bomb squads on toes for several hours. Later it was proved to be a hoax call.
