TAMIL NADU: Man hurled chappal at Kamal Haasan in Tirupparankundram ,Tamil Nadu during an election campaign, Indian media reported on Thursday.

On February 28, Extremists in India’s Bengaluru city had threatened a bakery, named after Pakistan’s largest city Karachi, of blowing it up over its name.

The radicals had threatened Karachi Bakery owner to change its name or they will blow it up with a bomb.

Indian media reported that the manager of the bakery has been called and ordered to change his bakery’s name.

Earlier, some violent elements had created furious commotion outside the bakery over its name.

This may be noted that in Pakistan’s Hyderabad city there is a very famous bakery named after an Indian city, Bombay Bakery, but no Pakistani would have thought for a second to damage it in any way.
