An expelled party member of TTV Dhinakaran’s Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam decided to take revenge on Sunday, 29 July, and reached the party leader’s residence in Adyar, Chennai.

Once there, he attempted arson – and while it’s unclear exactly what his intention was, 'Bullet' Parimalam ended up setting fire to a part of his own car.

In the attempt, Parimalam himself was injured, and three others – Dhinakaran's driver Pandidurai, an auto driver and a Jaya TV cameraperson – were also hurt. They are getting medical help at Malar hospital in Adyar.

According to members of AMMK, Parimalam had been removed from the party last week and he arrived outside Dhinakaran's residence at around 12:15 pm on Sunday.
