Madurai, Nov 30: A petrol bomb was hurled at the residence of a BJP woman functionary near Teppakulam in this city Friday by some miscreants, slightly damaging a car, police said.

No one was injured in the attack on the residence of A R Mahalakshmi, they said.

A neighbour, who heard the noise, alerted the woman, who rushed out of her house and doused the flames, police said.

Mahalakshmi claimed that some people were scared of BJP's growth in the state and were trying to scare the party functionaries by resorting to such attacks.

Hyderabad (PTI): The promising Angkrish Raghuvanshi (59) made a well-paced fifty as Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by seven wickets in their IPL match here on Sunday.

Skipper Ajinkya Rahane (43) and Raghuvanshi added 84 runs for the second wicket as KKR overhauled SRH’s under-par 165 all out with ease.

Finn Allen made an aggressive 29 off 13 balls upfront to give KKR a brisk start.

Earlier, Travis Head made a belligerent 61 off 28 balls but KKR's spinners bowled well to restrict SRH to 165.

Mystery spinners Varun Chakravarthy (3/36) and Sunil Narine (2/31) wrecked SRH middle-order with controlled spells.

Along the way of his two-wicket burst in his fourth-over, Narine also completed 200 IPL wickets.

The spinner was the third bowler to achieve the feat after Yuzvendra Chahal and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Ishan Kishan made 42 off 29 balls.
