Attempt Made To Hurl Petrol Bombs At RSS Office In Ranchi, NIA Team Inspects Scene

Ranchi: An attempt was allegedly made late Tuesday night to attack the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) office located at Nivaranpur in Ranchi, Jharkhand.

Following the attack, teams from the the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the Bomb Detection And Disposable Squad (BDDS) visited the scene. The four-wheeler used in the attack has been recovered by the police while the owner is being searched for.

According to police, two unidentified men tried to throw petrol-filled bottles into the RSS premises. However, both bottles fell before crossing the boundary wall, and no damage was caused to the office.

Following the incident, Ranchi Police launched an investigation and began searching for the suspects. Ranchi City Superintendent of Police (SP) Paras Rana said that a probe was initiated immediately after the matter came to light.

Preliminary findings suggest that two individuals were involved in the attack attempt. Multiple teams, including forensic experts from the FSL, have been deployed to investigate the case.

Chilli Sauce Bottles Used As Petrol Bombs

Police have obtained CCTV footage showing two suspects attempting to throw petrol-filled bottles toward the RSS office. During the first attempt, the burning fuse reportedly fell to the ground before the bottle could ignite properly, rendering the petrol bomb ineffective. A second bottle was then thrown, but it failed to reach the office premises.

The investigation revealed that empty chilli sauce bottles had been converted into improvised petrol bombs and used in the attack attempt.

According to local residents, some hotel employees near the RSS office are under suspicion. A few days ago, RSS office representatives reportedly lodged a complaint against the hotel over cleanliness and other concerns. The dispute had been ongoing since then.

Police are also examining whether hotel employees were involved in the incident. However, no official confirmation has been made regarding their role.

BJP Leaders Visit RSS Office

Soon after news of the incident emerged, BJP leader Babulal Marandi, along with several party MLAs and workers, visited the RSS office. BJP leaders questioned the law-and-order situation in the state and demanded a fair investigation and the swift arrest of those responsible for the attack attempt.
