Police on Sunday arrested a man for issuing a bomb threat to Union minister Nitin Gadkari’s residence in Nagpur, which later turned out to be a hoax, officials said.

The Election Commission of India (ECI) has refuted Congress MP P Chidambaram’s claims regarding voter shifts and migrant inclusion in Tamil Nadu, labeling them as misleading and baseless. The EC clarified that the SIR exercise hasn’t been rolled out in Tamil Nadu yet, making the connection to Bihar’s voter list absurd. Chidambaram had questioned the addition of 6.

The ECI hit back at Chidambaram, who criticised the poll body over the ongoing SIR exercise in Bihar, and suggested that migrant workers were registered as voters in Tamil Nadu.
