CHENNAI: DMK chief M Karunanidhi’s wife Rajathiammal was allegedly threatened by a suspected burglar, wielding a toy gun, at her CIT Colony residence on Monday.
“At around 5 pm, the intruder was seen coming out of the library on the second floor of the two-storeyed house. On seeing Rajathiammal, the man threatened her at gunpoint, demanding cash and jewellery,” said a senior police officer.
On the pretext of fetching valuables, Rajathiammal managed to inform the police. Subsequently, the security officer rushed to the house and nabbed the man.
According to police, the 30-year-old suspect, Rajendra Prasath, of Triplicane, had no previous criminal record and was later handed over to the Mylapore police.
