Three activists from the ruling CPI(M) were allegedly hacked and wounded by a group of 10 men while they were sitting at a bus stop in Kannur last night, police said on Monday, 25 March.
The activists Sunob, Rijin, and Latheesh were attacked at the local bus station at Ayyallur in Mattannur in Kannur.
The ruling party alleged that local BJP-RSS activists were behind the attack, but the police are yet to confirm this. The Mattannur Police have registered a case and said that they have taken a few persons into custody.
“As per the preliminary assumption, political rivalry is suspected behind the attack. The injured persons alleged that they were attacked by BJP-RSS activists. An investigation is going on,” an officer said.
A case was registered under Section 307 (attempt to murder) of the Indian Penal Code, police added.
