Thrissur: A 22-year-old Communist Party of India (Marxist) activist was hacked to death last night at nearby Guruvayur, allegedly by four Bharatiya Janata Party workers, police said.
Faasil was unit secretary of Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI), the youth wing of the party.
Police said the four persons attacked him with lethal weapons at Brahmakulam near Guruvayur after intercepting his motorbike. Though he was rushed to a nearby hospital, he died en route, they said.
