There are prohibitory orders in some parts of Bengaluru after a 35-year old RSS party worker was attacked and murdered in broad daylight on Sunday afternoon.

Section 144 was imposed in Shivajinagar, Frazer Town, Commercial Street and Bharathi Nagar. The brazen attack took place near the Commercial Street area of Shivajinagar in Bengaluru.

The victim, Rudresh, was on his way home after attending an event organized by the RSS.

Eyewitnesses said that the assailants wearing masks came on a bike and attacked him with a machete.

Tension prevailed in the area and shops and commercial establishments were asked to down their shutters as RSS and BJP workers took to the streets to protest the killings.

In view of the sensitive situation, a large number of police personnel including the Rapid Action Force have been deployed in the area.

Earlier last week, a RSS worker was hacked to death in Kerala's Kannur district.
