Country-made bombs were hurled at a Seva Kendra run by the RSS and at the residence of a BJP worker at Thalassery in Kannur district in the wee hours of Wednesday, an incident which comes after an RSS worker was hacked to death in poll-bound Kerala.

Police said the bombs were hurled at around 1:45 on Wednesday morning.

“Only a window pane was damaged. No one was injured”, police sources said about the attack at the Jaganatha Mandiram Seva Kendra run by the RSS at Temple Gate in Thalassery in the district.

A bomb was also hurled at the house of Subramaniam, a BJP worker, damaging the compound wall, the sources said.

The incident comes after violence erupted in poll-bound Kerala as 27-year-old RSS worker, Sujit, was hacked to death in front of his aged parents in the district on Monday night.

While the BJP had slammed CPI-M for murder of Sujit, the Marxist party has denied it, saying it was the fallout of a local incident relating to insulting a girl.

Police said the accused behind the murder have been identified and they would be arrested soon.
