The Royapettah Police is investigating the case.
“Around 3.15 a.m., a group came to the hotel and damaged [some] glass panels. It seems the group attacked the hotel in protest against Karnataka’s attitude in release of Cauvery river water,” a police official told IANS.
Meanwhile, members of three Tamil outfits damaged windscreens and glass panes of five Karnataka-registered vehicles in Rameswaram.
About eight members of the Naam Tamizhar Katchi, the Tamizhaga Vazhvurimai Katchi and the Tamil National Movement, attacked the vehicles, including two buses.
On being alerted, police rushed to the spot and detained them. No one was injured in the incident, police added.
Superintendent of Police N. Manivannan instructed the police to tighten security at the bus stand and parking lots.
