New Delhi, March 14 (IANS) Delhi Police have registered an FIR against Tamil Nadu Minister T.M. Anbarasan for allegedly threatening Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The TN Minister stirred controversy after his purported video, in which he was seen threatening the Prime Minister, went viral on Wednesday.

The FIR has been filed under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including 153, 268, 503, 505, and 506.
“The instant complaint is regarding an incident that took place during a public rally/procession held by the Minister of Rural Industries, Cottage Industries, Small Industries, Tamil Nadu Urban Habitat Development Board, Tamil Nadu, T.M. Anbarasan. Anbarasan, a prominent political figure, having following amongst the masses and minister in the Tamil Nadu Cabinet, made a speech at a procession – wherein he openly threatened to cut the Prime Minister of our country, into pieces,” reads the FIR.
“The threatening statement made by T.M. Anbarasan, is not only alarming and posing a significant risk to the safety and security of our Prime Minister but is also shameful and has been deliberately made to stir the peace and stability of our nation and evoke violence,” the FIR added.
The lawyer in the FIR claimed that a video of Anbarasan is now doing rounds on social media platforms wherein he is seen addressing a procession and can be heard explicitly declaring his intentions to cause horrific bodily harm to the Prime Minister.
