: Tense moments prevailed for some time today in Kathirur village in Kannur district, where RSS activist Manoj was murdered the same day last year, after carcasses of two stray dogs were found hanging from an electric post in the hamlet.
The carcasses were later removed by police.
The stringing up of the carcasses prompted BJP district president K Renjith to allege that it was part of a 'provocation' by the CPI(M).
The first death anniversary of Manoj is being observed today by BJP-RSS at Kathirur and nearby areas.
Manoj, an RSS activist, was hacked to death on September 1, 2014 while he was on his way to Thalassery in a van. Four CPI(M) workers have been arrested in connection with the case.
BJP MP Nalin Kumar Katteel visited trouble torn areas and damaged houses of party workers in Kannur and nearby areas.
A CPI(M) worker suffered minor injuries in an attack allegedly by BJP activists last night at Chalad near Kannur.
