A petrol bomb was thrown at a house in Chennai: 5 people, including 3 minors, have been arrested.
Tamil Nadu: Five people, including three minors, have been arrested in connection with a petrol bomb attack on a house in Nolambur, Chennai.
Prabhakaran, an ambulance driver from Porur, Chennai, had gone to his uncle’s house on Venugopal Street in Nolambur on Wednesday. When he saw some people smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol in a vacant plot near the house, Prabhakaran reprimanded them and chased them away.
A short while later, the youths returned, argued with Prabhakaran, attacked him, and fled. Around midnight, the youths returned again and threw two crude bombs at the house. This caused a fire on the roof and shattered the windowpanes.
Upon receiving the information, the Nolambur police arrived at the scene and conducted an investigation. A case was registered, and five people involved in the incident—Martin (22), Kamaruddin (21), and three 15-year-old boys from the same locality—were arrested on Thursday and are being interrogated.
