RSS Ranchi Office Attack Alleged
The alleged attack took place at the RSS office in Nivaranpur under the Chutia police station area of Ranchi. CCTV footage circulating online reportedly showed two unidentified persons near the premises around midnight.
RSS functionaries alleged that petrol bombs were thrown at the office. No major damage or injury was immediately reported. Police have begun examining the footage and are working to identify the persons seen in the video.
Police Probe Petrol Bomb Claim
Police officials said pieces of glass bottles were recovered from the spot. A forensic team has been called to examine the material and confirm whether petrol or any other inflammable substance was used.
Authorities said it would be premature to confirm the exact nature of the objects before the forensic report. The investigation is also expected to look into the motive behind the incident and whether it was a planned attack.

The incident triggered sharp political reactions, with BJP leaders criticising the law-and-order situation in Jharkhand. They alleged that the attack was part of a larger conspiracy and demanded a thorough probe.
The development comes amid heightened political tension in the state. Police are expected to increase monitoring around sensitive locations as the investigation continues.
