Four more arrested for RSS office blast

Chennai: Tenkasi police have arrested four more Sangh sympathizers for bombing RSS office. Sangh activitsts bombed their own office to create communal tension in Tenkasi, a busy town in Tirunelveli District of Tamilnadu.

A total of seven have been arrested so far for bomb blasts on January 24 that hit local RSS office and the new bus stand. Police blames Hindutva activists for planning and carrying out the blasts. Mr. S. Kannapan, deputy inspector general of police said that "The investigations revealed that the blasts were planned to provoke a backlash between the two dominant communities in Tenkasi."

The police have arrested A. Balamurugan (20), S. Velmurugan (18), A. Murugan (24), all hailing from Tenkasi and Maasaanam (20) of Shencottai for assisting S. Ravi Pandian, master mind of the nefarious plan.

S Ravi Pandian (42), S Kumar (28), both from Tenkasi, and V Narayana Sharma (26) of Sencottai were arrested earlier.

Police also recovered three sets of pipe bombs from the arrested.

M. H. Jawahirullah, president of the Tamil Nadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam(TMMK) have congratulated the police for their prompt action and exposing the conspiracy of the RSS.

Mr. Jawahirullah said that a blast of this nature could not have taken place without Sangh's top leadership being aware of it. He demanded CBI to reinvestigate the other blasts in different parts of the county in light of RSS involvement in this blast.
