Spate of Attacks Targeting BJP Leaders Continue

Thiruvanchoor: There has been an attack on the residence of BJP area president of Nemom constituency, Estate ward, Abhilash. The attack took place at midnight, with the gang likely to have jumped over the compound wall to enter the premises. Police speculate that the attack was planned, taking into account the destruction of two wheeled vehicles that were in front of the house.

The incident is a continuation of the spate of attacks unleashed on local BJP karyakartas of Nemom constituency. Abhilash was BJP’s candidate for Estate ward in the recently concluded local body elections. His defeat was by a single vote.

On 7 May, there was an attack of similar kind on BJP MLA O Rajagopal’s office, which is situated in Niramankara, NSS College Road.
