Four Caught Throwing Petrol Bomb at Bakery in Palladam After Saltless Panipuri Dispute!

Four people were arrested for reportedly attempting to throw a petrol bomb at a bakery in Tirupur's Peruntholuvu near Palladam after an inebriated fight with a bakery owner about the allegated lack of salt in Panipuri. The CCTV footage of the incident has finally been released.


Tirupur: Sathish hails from Koduvai village near Palladam.

He has been running a bakery in Peruntholuvu for the past ten years.

Yesterday, Ashwin, Poovalingam, Dinesh Kumar from Tiruppur and Sakthi Ganesh from Dindigul district came to Satheesh's bakery under the influence of alcohol.

All four have ordered and eaten pani puri. They had a heated argument with the bakery owner Satish, who claimed that there was no salt in Panipuri, and threw away the panipuri plate and got into an argument. Then they left.

When the four returned, they loaded an empty spirits bottle with petrol and hurled it at the bakery. The four escaped on a two-wheeler, despite the fact that the petrol bomb did not ignite.



The four were arrested based on CCTV footage after Sathish Kumar filed a complaint at the Avinashipalayam police station.

Dinesh Kumar, a Tiruppur resident, was detained and already has six cases against him. In Panipuri, drunk men claimed there was no salt and attempted to throw a petrol bomb at a bakery.
