Petrol bombs were hurled on the house of former Tamil Nadu minister T M Selvaganapathy in Salem in the early hours of today, resulting in a tense situation.

A car and a two-wheeler parked in the portico were damaged, due to petrol bomb attack, police said.

Selvaganapathy, also a former DMK MP, who rushed from Chennai, said in a statement that he was indulged in enrolling members to his party and this could be the handiwork of those against him.

He will not be cowed down with this type of attack and he will continue to work for the party with additional vigor, Selvaganapathy added.

Police are investigating the matter.
