In two separate incidents, crude bombs were on Sunday hurled at the offices of Tamil Nadu minister Sellur K Raju and the ruling AIADMK in Madurai but no one was injured, police said.

Unidentified persons hurled the bombs at the office of the Cooperation Minister and at AIADMK's Madurai district office, police said. They said no one was injured, adding, four persons have been detained and were being questioned.

Raju later alleged that the attack was carried out by "political rivals who could not bear the news that about 25,000 students are joining the AIADMK".
