A

,
Karthik
from Mayiladuthurai, was apprehended for issuing a
death threat
to the
actress
Sheriina.
Sheriina
Sam, a 38-year-old artist from Kochi, Kerala, residing with her family in Royapettah, Chennai, made her Tamil debut in the 2021 film '
Vinodaya Sitham
,' directed by Samuthirakani. Known for her participation in a television reality show, Sheriina encountered an unsettling incident.
Karthik, who previously worked as Sheriina's car driver, faced dismissal when she found his behavior inappropriate and discovered he was the brother of a troublemaker. Subsequently, an enraged Karthik and his friend Ilayaraja attempted to trespass into Sheriina's house in a drunken state, eventually leaving after a brief period.
Not stopping there, Karthik harassed Sheriina with a threatening audio message on her
number, warning of harm to her and her brother if she revealed the incident. Taking swift action, Sheriina's sister Gowri filed a police complaint, resulting in charges against Karthik and Ilayaraja in four cases. Following legal proceedings, both were arrested and imprisoned based on the court's verdict. The incident, which occurred a few days ago, recently came to light after Sheriina's court appearance.
