A 23-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly hurling a petrol bomb near his girlfriend’s home in Tamil Nadu’s Madurai district early this morning. The incident was captured on CCTV.
The accused has been identified as Nagarjuna, a load man. “He was drunk and upset that his girlfriend, with whom he was in a relationship for the last six years, refused to speak to him over the last week. Another man can be seen sleeping outside a nearby shop when the incident takes place. Police have taken Nagarjuna into custody and are questioning him. Further investigation is underway. The incident comes a day after crime, law and order and women’s safety turned into a heated debate in the Tamil Nadu Assembly between the opposition and the ruling TVK after Chief Minister Vijay, who also holds the Home portfolio, made his demand for grants speech.
Police said he was allegedly drunk and was upset after his girlfriend stopped speaking to him for about a week. Nagarjuna had been in a relationship with the woman for around six years, according to a police officer. We are remanding him to judicial custody,” the officer told NDTV.
