Country bombs hurled at police vehicle in Tamil Nadu
On January 24, 2024, some bad people threw bombs at a police car near a toll plaza in Tamil Nadu.
The police car was taking a very bad man named 'Vellai' Kali, who has been in trouble with the law many times, to another place.
The bombs hurt three police officers, but they are okay now.
The police shot back at the bad people, who then ran away.
The man they were taking, 'Vellai' Kali, is also okay.
Some politicians are upset and saying that the government is not doing a good job keeping people safe.
Unidentified assailants hurled country bombs at a police vehicle escorting 'Vellai' Kali, a notorious history-sheeter, near the Thirumandhurai toll plaza on the Chennai-Trichy National Highway.
Three police personnel were injured in the blast and the ensuing melee, but their injuries are reported to be minor.
The police opened fire in self-defense, forcing the attackers to flee towards Chennai.
The injured police personnel were rushed to the Perambalur Government Hospital for treatment.
The condition of 'Vellai' Kali is reported to be stable as the police successfully shielded him from the direct impact of the explosives.
