RSS worker hacked to death in Kerala

Palakkad: A worker of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) was hacked to death  in Mambaram in the district on Monday morning, police said.

Police said 27-year old Sanjith was  hacked to death in front of his wife at  around 9 AM when he was taking her to  her place of work. The role of the activists of Social Democratic Party of India  (SDPI), the political offshoot of Islamist outfit Popular Front of India (PFI), is  suspected in the incident, they said. An  investigation has been launched to trace  the accused, who fled the scene after the  incident, they added.

The BJP alleged that the assailants followed Sanjith, hailing from Elappully, in  a vehicle, hit his two-wheeler and when  he fell down they hacked him to death in  front of his wife. Condemning the killing  of the RSS worker, BJP state president K  Surendran alleged it was a “planned murder” and blamed the failure on the part of  the police and state government for such  incidents occuring in the state. -(PTI)
