Political tension lingered in the State capital a day after the CPI(M) district committee office came under attack with unidentified people targeting party district secretary Anavoor Nagappan’s house and assaulting a Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) leader.
Scrambling to restore peace, the police have apprehended five Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) workers for allegedly vandalising the party office.
Mr. Nagappan’s house near Neyyattinkara is suspected to have been vandalised by unknown people late Saturday. The windowpane of an unoccupied bedroom was found to be broken. His family noticed the damage only early Sunday. The party leader, who was at the district committee office at the time of the incident, accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) of plotting the attack.
