March 03, 2017 09:32
The Communist Party of India office at Nadapuram in Kozhikode, Kerala was set on fire in an apparent retaliation for a crude bomb attack on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh office hours earlier, NDTV reported quoting police sources.
Four RSS workers were injured after some unknown persons hurled a crude bomb at their office at Kallachi near Nadapuram around 8.30 pm on Thursday. The injured were identified as Babu, Vineesh, Sudhir and Sunil, they said.
The attack took place soon after an RSS functionary in Madhya Pradesh announced a Rs 1 crore bounty for beheading Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
Kundan Chandravat, 'Sah Prachar Pramukh' of RSS in Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain, announced the reward to avenge the killing of its workers in Kerala, allegedly by CPI-M workers.
"The Kerala Chief Minister is killing our RSS workers who want to take this country forward. I will pay Rs one crore to anyone who beheads him even if I have to sell my house," Chandravat was seen saying in a video, which has gone viral. The RSS, however, distanced itself from Chandravat's remarks.
