NDTV
There was no damage, injuries to anyone and there was no security lapse, a senior police official said, adding the man who threw the petrol bomb was immediately overpowered
A Molotov cocktail, called 'petrol bomb' in local parlance, was lobbed by a man in front of the Raj Bhavan's main gate on Wednesday, an incident which drew the opposition's ire over the handling of law and order by the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu.
The Raj Bhavan asserted it was "attacked" and that "miscreants carrying bombs tried to barge in through the main gate." "However, alert sentries prevented and assailants hurled two petrol bombs inside Raj Bhavan and escaped," a post on Raj Bhavan's official 'X' handle claimed.
Opposition AIADMK and BJP slammed the government over the incident that happened outside the official residence of the State Governor.
