Kannur, Oct 13: Considered to be a hotbed of political violence, Kerala's Kannur district witnessed yet another murder on Thursday. This time the victim is an activist of Social Democratic Party of India.

45-year-old Farooq, the president of SDPI Neerchal unit in Kannur was hacked to death near a hotel in the city around 11 am. He was rushed to hospital, but his life could not be saved.

SDPI alleged that Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) activists were behind the murder. Police have taken Abdul Rauf, a native of Kannur, into custody in connection with the murder.

Farooq is the third person to be murdered in last four days in Kannuru district which witnessed seven murders and a death due to bomb explosion after the LDF came to power in May this year.

Out of this, five murders were spread over a period of three months. The latest three were committed in four days that too in the assembly constituency represented by chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who also handles the home portfolio.

This year's wave of gory politics began on May 19, with the murder of Cherikandath Raveendran (55), a CPM worker and native of Pinarayi Puthankandam, during a victory procession after the LDF wrested the seat.

Though the CPM said that he was killed by the BJP workers, who first hurled bombs at the procession and then ran a vehicle over him, the latter refuted the allegations. BJP maintained that he was killed after suffering a fall from the vehicle, which then accidentally ran over him. However, as per police records it is a murder case.
