Kannur (Kerala), Apr 17 (PTI) A steel bomb was thrown at the home of a woman near Kuthuparamba in the early hours of Friday, but it did not explode; therefore, no one was injured, police said.
Police said personal enmity is suspected to be the motive behind the attack, rather than any political issue.
They added that efforts are underway to identify the person responsible for the incident.
A case has been registered under the relevant provisions of the Explosives Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita against an unknown person, as the accused has not yet been identified.
According to CCTV visuals aired by TV channels, a man with his face covered was seen approaching the house and throwing an object at it before fleeing the scene.
