Babu (45), a CPI(M) worker was brutally murdered at Pallur Nalattara in the Mahe district of Puducherry union territory by armed assailants who arrived by a vehicle. Babu was a former member of local municipal council. The Mahe district is adjacent to the politically sensitive Kannur district of Kerala.
Within a few hours of Babu’s death, Shanoj (40) a BJP worker and autorickshaw driver was murdered, which is suspected to be a revenge for Babu’s murder.
Shanoj was on his way home when he was chased and attacked. He was rushed to the hospital at Kozhikhode after the attack, but sadly he could not be saved.
