Actor and BJP state propaganda secretary, S V Sheker has complained to the Commissioner of Police, Chennai to provide him protection following a series of phone calls and posts on social media issuing threats.
Shekher assumes that these threats have come about following the rejection of a certificate for the screening of a Tamil film said to be based on a woman LTTE member who was done to death in the war in Sri Lanka.
Shekher is also a member of the Film Certification Board at the regional level.
He says that though he alerted the city police on previous occasions when people threw stones at his house in Mandavelipakkam and issued threats related to various issues, the police did not respond.
