Kasaragod, May 6 (UNI) Considered as an extended action of the double murder in Periya few months ago, a country bomb has been hurled at the house of Deepu Krishnan, a close friend of the victims-- Kripesh and Sarath Lal.

According to police sources, the incident occurred late on Sunday night. There is no casualty as there was no one in the house at the time of hurling the bomb.
The police has registered a case and is investigating.

 

The Congress has alleged that it was the CPI(M) activists who are behind the incident.

An investigation by a Crime Branch team is progressing.
