A 41-year-old woman spiritual guru, who has become the latest social media sensation, has alleged threat to her life and that of her followers in a petition submitted at the city police Commissionerate on Wednesday.

The 41-year-old Annapoorani Arasu of Tirumullaivoyal alleged in her petition that the media propagated falsehood about her spiritual sessions and her husband’s death following which she has been getting threatening phone calls.
