Three others were injured when a home-made bomb accidently
exploded near the controversial Kudankulam nuclear plant, which began
operations in October.
The plant began
producing electricity in October after years of protest.
Police said it
was investigating whether the blast in a coastal village on Tuesday night was
linked to protests over the plant.
"The bomb
exploded accidently inside a house. Six people died and three more are
seriously injured," local police chief Vijayendra Bidari told Associated
Press news agency.
He claimed the
house was being used as a bomb-making factory.
TV footage showed
at least three homes collapsed near the blast site in Idinthakarai village,
from where most of the protests against the plant have originated.
