Tamil Nadu BJP President K Annamalai on Wednesday alleged that the petrol bomb incident outside Raj Bhawan shows that DMK government is "sponsoring" these attacks, adding that Chief Minister MK Stalin is adopting "diversification tactics."

In a post on X, Tamil Nadu BJP President Annamalai said, "Petrol bombs were hurled at Raj Bhavan today, reflects the true law and order situation in Tamil Nadu. While DMK is busy diverting the attention of people to insignificant matters of interest, criminals have taken the streets."

He further stated that Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin wouldl remain silent on the incident and employ diversion tactics.

"Incidentally, it is the same person who attacked BJP Tamil Nadu Headquarters in Chennai in Feb 2022 who is held responsible for the attack on Raj Bhavan today. These continuous attack only leaves one to think that the DMK government is sponsoring these attacks. Thiru MK Stalin will now be preparing for the next diversion, as he always does," he said.

Meanwhile, a complaint has been lodged at Guindy police station regarding the incident.

In this regard, Prem Anand Sinha, Additional Commissioner of Police said, "Around 3 pm, an unidentified person tried to throw some bottles of petrol outside Raj Bhavan near barricades. As soon as this was noticed by the security personnel present there, they surrounded him, confiscated other bottles from his hand and immediately handed him over to the patrol vehicle and took him to the police station."

No casualties have been reported in the incident.

"It seems that he was drunk. There is absolute, alert and proper bandobast in front of Raj Bhavan. The person has been identified as a history-sheeter named K Vinod and he's a habitual offender.6-7 cases are already there against him," he added.

Further probe is underway.

Earlier K Annamalai on Monday also targeted the DMK Government and demanded an apology from them over the insulting of Tricolour outside Chepauk Stadium.

Citing a media report, Annamalai alleged that police deployed outside the cricket stadium were restricting fans from carrying Indian flags inside the stadium.

However, Greater Chennai Police said that an enquiry has been initiated against the Sub Inspector deployed outside the stadium. (ANI)
