Tension prevailed close to Thatchanallur police station for some time on Sunday, after unidentified individuals hurled country-made bombs in front of the station.
Fortunately, nobody was injured in the assault, which was apparently accomplished by a gang concentrating on a youth going through just a few legal instances, who occurred to be contained in the police station.
Police stated unidentified individuals, who got here to the Thatchanallur police station on Sunday round 11 a.m. on three bikes, hurled a bomb in front of the police station at the same time as Devenedrakula Velaalar Ezhuchi Iyakkam president, Kannapiraan of Thatchanallur, was signing police data to fulfil his bail circumstances.
Even earlier than the police and a gaggle of youths, who have been accompanying Mr. Kannapiraan may react, the gang fled the spot on their two-wheelers.
The CCTV footage collected by the police confirmed that one of the 2 bombs hurled by the gang had exploded. While fleeing, they hurled one other bomb on a supporter of Mr. Kannapiraan, who was standing at a distance from the police station. The bomb didn’t explode then, and fell on the bottom solely to be crushed by a two-wheeler passing by, after which the bomb went off. No one was injured in the explosion.
During a search, the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad recovered the unexploded bomb hurled in front of the police station and splinters of the exploded bomb. “The explosive had steel balls packed inside,” a police officer stated.
Mr. Kannapiraan stated the “attempt on his life” was the handiwork of the “oppressive forces” in opposition to whom the police ought to take motion.
Based on a criticism from Mr. Kannapiraan, the Thatchanallur police have registered a case.
