Two Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) workers were arrested for allegedly hacking Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM) worker in Alappuzha district of Kerala on Wednesday.
The BMS is the labour wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The incident took place during an ongoing argument over the burning of a vehicle.
The person identified as TC Santhosh was allegedly attacked during the incident. Santhosh is a Valavanad local committee member.
TC Santhosh suffered critical injuries on his hand and leg. He is being treated at a private hospital in Kochi.
R Nazar, CPM district secretary, Alappuzha, said, "Santhosh was recently involved in a local issue where some BJP workers were the culprits. This led to the attack which is purely politically motivated."
"He lost his fingers while trying to safeguard himself from the sword... He is now at a private hospital," said R Nazar.

The matter pertains to a petition filed by one Nikhil Kumar Punia, who was born into an upper-caste Hindu family but supposedly converted to Buddhism later. He, along with another General Category candidate, has sought minority reservation benefits for admission to a Buddhist medical college on grounds of their purported conversion.

Energy disruption due to the war in the Middle East has exposed India's dependence on imported gas. It has prompted a policy shift mandating a switch from LPG to piped natural gas (PNG) where available. With supply constraints looming, the government is fast-tracking pipelines and pushing a nationwide transition to strengthen energy security.
