An individual, who signs off as “Sahishnu Hindu” (tolerant Hindu), has written at least 19 death threat letters to writers, to their residential addresses, since April 2022, the latest being to Chitradurga-based writer B.L. Venu.
Many writers have got more than one letter, and Mr. Venu himself has got two so far.
Despite the letters being brought to the notice of the police in various places in the State, the letter writer is still at large. In fact, the police have not filed FIRs in most cases, which has shocked writers and Opposition leaders.
