A suspected explosive device has been found under the personal car of Union Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office, V Narayanasamy, parked outside his Puducherry residence.
A member of the Minister's staff alerted the police. Pucherry's police chief P Kamaraj told NDTV, "We called in the bomb squad and moved the vehicle away from the minister's residence. The device which was connected to the car has been sent for examination. We suspect it has explosive substance in it as it is sealed and has wires as well."
Mr Narayanasamy, meanwhile, is in Delhi.
