The miscreants threw handwritten bills accusing the Union government of encouraging violence against Tamils in neighbouring Karnataka over the Cauvery water dispute, saying that national parties such as the Congress and the BJP were vying to instigate Kannadigas against Tamils. The Teynampet police are conducting an investigation.
