Unidentified persons on Sunday morning hurled a bottle filled with kerosene, at the house of V.K. Rajan, of Paramakudi Nannusamy Street near Ammapet, who is the Salem Town community organiser of the RSS.
Police said the miscreants lit the kerosene-filled bottle and hurled it around 1.45 a.m. However, it did not explode.
Mr. Rajan found bottle pieces near the door and observed the smell of kerosene. After immediately pouring water on it, he later informed BJP state executive member R.P. Gopinath, who alerted the City Police.
