Kannur (Kerela) : In an apparent case of political
vendetta and revenge killing, an RSS district leader was hacked to death
and another seriously injured in an attack allegedly by a group of CPM
activists at Ukkasmotta near Diamond Mukku, a politically sensitive
locality in the suburb of Thalassery in Kannur district on Monday, even
as BJP president Amit Shah is on a visit to Kerala. The victims are the
accused in the case of attack on CPM leader and present district
secretary P Jayarajan in 1999.
The incident comes at a time when BJP president Amit Shah is on a visit to Kerala to help BJP find a foothold in the state.
According to police, the deceased has been identified as Elamthottathil Manoj (42), who was the Saririk Sikshak Pramukh of the RSS and his friend Pramod was serious injured when the duo was attacked after hurling bombs on the car they were travelling around 11.30am.
Police said Manoj was an accused in the attack against CPM leader and present Kannur district secretary P Jayarajan at his residence in Kathirur near Thalassery, on the evening of Onam festival on August 25, 1999. The attack had resulted in widespread violence and the murder of Yuvamorcha leader K T Jayakrishnan in the classroom of the school where he was working was also seen as an act of retaliation.
Incidentally, on August 27, another BJP activist and Bharathiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) worker, Suresh Kumar (42), had died after he was attacked by a gang of suspected CPM workers on August 17.
Considering the gravity of the situation, a police team under Thalassery ASP Narayanan is camping the tense area to prevent any untoward incident.
