The city police arrested a man for allegedly hurling petrol-filled bottles (having lit the wick of one bottle) at the office of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in T. Nagar early on Thursday.
The police said at 1.20 a.m, the accused, riding a bike, hurled the molotov cocktail at the ‘Kamalalayam’ on Vaidyaraman Street, which is guarded by the police round the clock. He hurled two more bottles. As the front was wide open, it hit a wall and a carpet that was laid on the floor. A portion of the carpet was burnt and damaged.
