The Tamil Nadu police have been put on a high level of alert after a series of molotov cocktail attacks on the premises of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) or other Hindu organisation functionaries since Thursday last.
State Director-General of Police C. Sylendra Babu after a review meeting with all Commissioners/Superintendents of Police called for protecting soft targets, places of worship and sensitive locations. Sending reinforcements to places with a history of communal violence, he warned that perpetrators of violence would be detained under the National Security Act.
The incidents of motorcycle-borne suspects throwing molotov cocktails on select targets and unruly crowd pelting stones on buses in different parts of the State started soon after the National Investigation Agency along with the Enforcement Directorate and local police conducted nationwide raids on the premises of the Popular Front of India (PFI) on September 22.
