Upset over the health treatment he got from a Sidha clinic being ineffective, a man made a bomb hoax call to the clinic in Kodambakkam. Police traced the caller to Trichy and sent a team to detain him.

Police said the clinic received a call from a man who said a bomb planted on the premises would go off any time. The clinic called police who rushed a bomb disposal squad. They found it to be a hoax. Using the caller ID, police identified the caller as Manivel, 26, a resident of Trichy. The clinic said he had come for treatment in 2019.

A doctor at the clinic took ₹75,000 from him and gave him tablets for six months with an assurance that he would be cured. His condition, however, did not improve. Following this, Manivel decided to make the call.
