RSS activist killed, shutdown in Kerala town
Kannur (Kerala), Oct 11 (IANS) A daylong shutdown was called by the
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in a
town in Kerala's northern Kannur district Saturday after the killing of an
RSS activist.RSS activist C.K. Anoop was killed in a bomb explosion at
Eranjoli near Thalassery, about 25 km from here, late Friday night. Another
activist, identified as Rijesh, was admitted to hospital with serious
injuries.

The RSS has alleged that Anoop was killed in a bomb attack carried out by
workers of the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M).

The CPI-M has, however, refuted the charge saying that the RSS activist was
killed while handling a country-made bomb himself.

Police officials in Kannur said they are yet to confirm whether the death
was caused in a bomb attack or in an explosion caused while handling a bomb.

Kannur district has been a hotbed of political violence between the CPI-M
and the BJP-RSS combine. A bout of such violence in March, triggered by an
attack on an RSS leader, claimed at least seven lives.
