Chandigarh, April 25 -- Barely three days after an arson attack in a Ram Darbar house, five men threw petrol bombs into a residential courtyard in Bapu Dham Colony, Sector 26, owing to some old rivalry in the early hours of Wednesday, police said. The house occupants were asleep when fire engulfed the courtyard.

One of the assailants has been identified as Golu, a resident of Dadumajra. A case has been registered, the police said.

The FIR mentioned that complainant Pankaj, 21, reported that he was asleep when he heard noises from an adjacent park all of a sudden. When he stepped out of his room, he saw Golu, along with four unidentified youths, reportedly armed with sticks and glass bottles containing the flammable liquid.
