The Puducherry assembly on Monday saw chaotic scenes as the discussion on Regency riots came up. Both parties had heated arguments on the issue. The Regency Ceramics violent incidents in Yanam had included the murder of a key personality of the management on January 27, this year. The Chief Minister Rangaswamy had ordered a CBI probe on the incidents as a result.
