Kannur : A BJP worker was found hacked to death on Saturday in Kerala's Kannur district which has been witnessing increased political clashes between activists of the state's ruling CPI-M and activists of the right-wing groups.
The incident occurred at Thilenkery where Bineesh was found grievously wounded on the roadside by police, who rushed him to the Iritty government hospital, but the BJP worker died enroute.
According to the police, an uneasy calm has been prevailing in and around Thilenkery for the past week and after Saturday's incident the situation got worse with BJP and CPI(M) activists taking on one another.
The killing followed an attack on the car of a CPI-M worker in which a party worker was injured.
This triggered a retaliatory attack near the Thilenkery local body office and police then found the wounded Bineesh on the road.
The body will now be moved to the state-run Pariyaram Medical College for the autopsy, while additional police force has been rushed to the area to prevent the situation from worsening.
