As soon as the mail was received, which claimed that public places like the Besant Nagar and Elliots beaches formed part of the places under the target, it was brought to the notice of authorities and later forwarded to Chennai city police for appropriate action.
Chennai police have started a probe into the matter and appropriate action is being taken, the official added.
