Tension gripped Palakkad yet again on Monday when some unidentified persons hurled petrol bombs at the house of a Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) worker who is an accused in murder of former Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) trainer A. Sreenivasan.
The bomb attack on the house of Firos K. at Kavilpad took place around 1.30 a.m. when the members of his family were asleep. Firos, one of the key accused in Sreenivasan’s murder, is in judicial custody.
Police said two petrol bombs made of beer bottles were hurled at the house, but they did not trigger a blaze. Broken pieces of the bottles and some twines and rags were found strewn in front of the house. The bottles had the smell of petrol. They made a dent on the front wall of the house.
