Kerala: RSS man hacked to death

Police said the deceased, Choorakad Biju, was travelling on a motorcycle when some persons intercepted his vehicle.

Kannur (Kerala): An RSS worker was hacked to death allegedly by CPM activists at Payyanur town on Friday prompting the BJP to demand the imposition of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) in Kannur district. The killing is the first incident of political violence since January’s “peace talks” between the leaders of the ruling CPM in Kerala and BJP-RSS in Kannur.

Police said the deceased, Choorakad Biju, was travelling on a motorcycle when some persons intercepted his vehicle at a bridge near Payyanur and attacked him. Biju, a local RSS leader, was an accused in the murder case of CPM activist C.V. Dhanraj. Police said additional personnel were posted in the area as a precautionary measure. The politically sensitive Kannur district has witnessed a series of violent clashes between the activists of the CPM and BJP-RSS over the last one year.
