1. T.N. Raj Bhavan petrol bomb attack | Governor accuses State of diluting incident
A day after a petrol bomb was hurled at the main gate of the Raj Bhavan, the Tamil Nadu Governor’s office came down heavily on the State police, saying the latter did not register its complaint on the petrol bomb issue, ‘diluted’ the attack as mere vandalism, and alleged a fair probe was ‘killed’ even before it began. Earlier in the day, Chennai City Police Commissioner Sandeep Rai Rathore visited Raj Bhavan and briefed Governor R.N. Ravi on the steps taken to beef up the security around the premises.
Meanwhile, condemning the attack, the Law Minister S. Regupathy, while addressing journalists at Pudukottai, asserted the DMK government would never allow such untoward incidents as it would bring disrepute to the regime.
