June 08, 2013 16:25

Two 'petrol bombs' were today hurled at a marriage hall owned by a local BJP functionary in Ramanathapuram, police said today. There was no damage to property or any casualty as the crude bombs did not explode but the petrol-filled bottles broke into pieces, police said.

Police said some unidentified persons had come on motorcycles and had hurled the bombs at the hall owned by BJP Town secretary Suriya Prakash, where Hindu Makkal Katchi is holding a meeting in a day or two.

The owner had been receiving threats against giving the hall for a meeting of the Hindu outfit, but he had not taken it seriously, sources said. A case has been registered.
