A suspected political killing rocked Kerala on the polling day with alleged CPM workers hacking to death a Youth League activist in Kannur district close to midnight on Tuesday.
Mansoor, 22, sustained fatal injuries when some men, suspected to be CPM workers, hurled country-made bombs into his home in Panoor under Kuthuparamba Assembly constituency and then hacked him. A member of Youth League, the youth arm of Congress ally Indian Union Muslim League, Mansoor died early on Wednesday at a hospital in Kozhikode.
His elder brother Muhsin, a UDF booth agent, was injured in the attack and is recovering in a private hospital in Kozhikode.
