New Delhi, June 17 (SocialNews.XYZ) Union Minister of State for Defence, Sanjay Seth, on Wednesday termed the alleged petrol bomb attack on a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) office in Ranchi as a serious incident, claiming it pointed towards a larger conspiracy and could have led to major damage had the fire spread.
Speaking on the incident, Seth said, “The main RSS office was attacked at around 12:36 a.m.. First, a petrol bomb was thrown, followed by a second one. Two young men carried out the attack. It was a petrol bomb, not a normal bomb, made with gelatin-like material that causes fire on impact…”
He further said that the attackers had covered their faces and thrown two petrol bombs at the premises. According to Seth, 18 RSS pracharaks were present inside the office at the time of the incident.
“The office had 18 pracharaks inside. If the fire had spread and nearby vehicles had caught fire, a major accident could have occurred. This audacious act took place at a time when people are often gathered nearby watching football matches during the summer season. The attackers arrived in another vehicle. The manner in which the attack was carried out points towards a larger conspiracy,” he said.
Seth said he had spoken with the Director General of Police and the Deputy Commissioner and urged them to conduct a thorough investigation and bring the facts before the public at the earliest.
“This is no ordinary incident. If the fire had spread, the situation could have become disturbed. However, we will not allow Ranchi to become disturbed at any cost,” he added.
BJP MLA C. P. Singh also described the incident as suspicious and indicative of a broader plot. He said, “The RSS office located in Nivaranpur, the state headquarters of Jharkhand, has been established there for many years. The petrol bomb attack on the office appears to be part of a larger conspiracy. Fortunately, this conspiracy has been exposed…”
Former Union Minister Arjun Munda also condemned the attack. In a post on X, he said the incident was “extremely unfortunate and condemnable” and warned that such acts weaken social harmony, peace and democratic values.
On the attack, Jharkhand BJP president, Aditya Sahu, said, "We have been continuously saying that criminals have been running the government in this state. And right under the nose of the capital, in a residential area, an RSS office was attacked with petrol bombs..."
According to police, two unidentified miscreants allegedly hurled petrol bombs at the RSS office located in Ranchi’s Nivaranpur area late on Tuesday night. Fortunately, the crude explosives failed to reach the office premises, and no injuries or property damage were reported. The entire incident was captured on CCTV cameras, and an investigation is underway.
