RSS worker hacked to death in Thiruvanthapuram, political killing suspected

An RSS worker was hacked to death by alleged CPM workers in Thiruvananthapuram on Saturday.

Assailants chopped off Rajesh Edavakode, an RSS worker's hand in Sreekaryam earlier on Saturday. A critical Rajesh succumbed to injuries hours after the attack.

Kerala BJP unit chief Kummanam Rajashekharan accused the CPM of assaulting another RSS worker. Political



killings have become a dangerous trend in Kerala. Rajesh's murder comes in the backdrop of multiple incidents of political unrest in Thiruvananthapuram.

Rajesh was attacked when he was going home after attending RSS shaka. He was rushed to Thiruvananthapuram Medical College by local residents, but later shifted to the private hospital where he succumbed to injuries.
