In the complaint, Anbarasan, a prominent political figure and a minister in the Tamil Nadu Cabinet, is accused of openly threatening to harm the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India.

The complainant draws attention to the historical context, specifically the assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi during the DMK’s reign in Tamil Nadu, particularly during an election period.
