Former AIADMK leader TTV Dhinakaran's car attacked by country made petrol bomb; driver and personal photographer injured

In a dreadful attack, a country made petrol bomb hurled at former AIADMK leader TTV Dhinakaran's car on Sunday outside his house in Chennai. An unidentified miscreant hurled the petrol bomb at Dhinakaran's car and flew the scene. However, Dhinakaran was not in the car at the time of the incident.

In the petrol bomb attack, Dhinakaran's driver and his personal photographer were injured. The rear windshield of the SUV was damaged. Pieces of broken glass could be seen splattered on the road.

As per reports, it has been alleged that an expelled party worker, Bullet Parimalam, was behind the attack.

Mr Dhinakaran broke away from the ruling AIADMK to form his own party and contest Chennai's RK Nagar by-election in December last year. He won comfortably from the seat previously held by J Jayalalitha.
