Security has been beefed up at the Brahadheeswarar Temple, famously known as Big Temple, the World Heritage Monument following a bomb scare.
The security agencies were on tenterhooks after Dr Rajendran, Vice-Chancellor of Tamil University, Thanjavur, received a letter a couple of days back warning a bomb blast at the temple, which is bracing up to celebrate the 1000th year anniversary.
Police said an anonymous letter addressed to the Vice-Chancellor stated that he was taking revenge as he became jobless after being betrayed by the state Education Department officials.
He said he wanted to take revenge against the officials concerned and had planted bombs both at the Temple and Thanjavur Tamil University premises. The bombs might go off any moment today, he warned in the letter.
Acting on a complaint lodged by the Vice-Chancellor, two separate police teams comprising anti bomb squads conducted a thorough search at the Temple precincts and University complex but found that the threat turned out to be a hoax.
However, the district police intensified security at the Big Temple as a precautionary measure. Armed police personnel were posted in front of the Temple and devotees were allowed only after thorough search,
