Petrol bomb attack on HMK leader’s house

Unidentified miscreants on Friday hurled petrol bombs at the house of a fringe Hindu outfit leader in this district, causing damage to parked vehicles, police said.

The motorbike-borne men threw the bombs into the house of Balamurugan, south zone organising president of Hindu Makkal Katchi and fled the scene, police added.

Two motorbikes parked in the front portion of the house caught fire in the incident which was recorded on the CCTV camera in the premises, they said.

While Balamurugan was away, his family members were present when the incident occurred.

Top police officials visited the place and conducted the preliminary investigations.
