Petrol bomb attack: Fair probe killed, alleges Raj Bhavan


The Tamil Nadu Raj Bhavan today (October 26) said police did not register its complaint on the petrol bomb issue, and alleged a fair probe was ‘killed’ before it began. Further, it alleged the police diluted the attack as an act of simple vandalism and did not take up detailed interrogation.
“Police did not register Raj Bhavan complaint on the attack. Suo moto diluted the attack as act of simple vandalism and in a hurry got arrested the accused and remanded (him) to jail at midnight waking up the magistrate and prevented detailed interrogation which could expose those behind attack.”

“Fair investigation is killed before it began,” the TN Raj Bhavan said on X.

A 42 year-old man with many pending cases against him had hurled a Molotov cocktail, called petrol bomb in local parlance, in front of the Raj Bhavan’s main gate in Chennai on Wednesday
