Miscreants hurled a bottle filled with an inflammable substance at the BJP office in Tamil Nadu’s Coimbatore on Thursday night triggering tension in the area. Police reached the spot to take control of the situation and conduct a preliminary investigation. No injuries were reported, the police said.
Following the attack, the saffron party workers protested in the area, demanding action against the culprits. According to the party, this is a kind of ‘terror attack’.
The NIA on Thursday took A.S. Ismail, a national executive committee member of PFI, into custody from Coimbatore.
While speaking to reporters, Nandkumar, a BJP worker, said, “Petrol bomb was thrown at our office. This is how terror attacks come. Today, raids (against PFI) took place at several places. It is the anniversary of the Hindu Munnani leader and the BJP National President is also in the state.”
The incident comes hours after the National Investigation Agency (NIA), Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the state police forces jointly carried out coordinated raids at the houses and offices of the top Popular Front of India (PFI) leaders and members across India yesterday, including Tamil Nadu.
