Kannur (Kerala): A bomb was hurled at the RSS office in the Payyannur area in the wee hours on Tuesday. The attack, which took place around 1:30 midnight, damaged the front windows of the office. No casualties were reported during the incident, as the workers who were in the office at the time of the attack escaped unhurt.
The RSS leadership has accused the CPM of being behind the attack. The attack was followed by the death anniversary of Dhanraj -- a CPM-DYFI worker of Payyannur Ramantali, who was killed by BJP-RSS workers back in 2016 -- celebrated on July 11.
