A 21-year-old activist of DYFI, the youth wing of the ruling CPI(M) in Kerala, was allegedly hacked to death by some assailants near Kayamkulam in the coastal district of Alappuzha, police said on Wednesday.
The officer said the incident happened after an initial argument between the suspects and the victim.
Barely half-an-hour after the argument, the two suspects came in a two-wheeler and hacked the unsuspecting Ambadi in the neck, he said. “He died on the way to the hospital,” the officer added.
“The inquest just got over and the body will be sent for post-mortem,” he said.
A case under Sections 302 (murder), 307 (attempted murder), 324 (voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the officer said.
“Only after further investigation can we know whether anyone else was also involved in the incident,” he added.
