New Delhi: A man with criminal record threw a crude bomb at the entrance of Raj Bhavan in Chennai on Wednesday.
On being nabbed by police stationed at the main gate, the man, identified as Karukka Vinod, shouted slogans against Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi, expressing dissatisfaction with his decision not to endorse the anti-NEET Bill approved by the Tamil Nadu assembly several months ago.
Vinod strolled along Sardar Vallabhai Patel Road from the Anna University side towards Guindy. Upon reaching the main gate of Raj Bhavan, he pulled out a Molotov cocktail, lit it, and threw it at the entrance. Attempting to escape, he was nabbed by the police following a brief chase.
Vinod had earlier thrown crude bombs outside Teynampet police station, Kamarajar Arangam, and the BJP state headquarters.
