Late last evening, SDPI state secretary KS Shaan was murdered while he was on way home. The police said Mr Shaan was on a two-wheeler, when a gang in a car intercepted him, hit his bike and stabbed him. He succumbed to his injuries at a Kochi hospital around midnight, the police said.
Less than 12 hours later, some unidentified men barged into the house of the BJP's Renjith Sreenivasan, who was the Secretary of the party's OBC unit and hacked him to death.
The police are investigating the matter. Prohibitory orders under Section 144 has been imposed in the district for two days and strict checking is being conducted. Unnecessary gatherings will not be allowed, an officer said.
