HOAX bomb threats have become a nagging issue for the police personnel as Greater Chennai Police (GCP) Commisioner A Arun said the city has received a total of 342 such emails since April this year.

Speaking in a media interaction, the commissioner said every threat mail was registered either under a Community Service Register (CSR) entry or an FIR. "As of now, the cases have been handed over to the Anti Terror Squad (ATS), and they are probing the cases," he said.
