Palakkad(Kerala): In a bizarre decision, the Palakkad Additional District Magistrate has banned male pillion riders on two-wheelers in the Palakkad district. The order came following the two brutal murders of a Popular Front of India (PFI) and a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leaders, suspected to be by SDPI activists.
The assailants had come on a two-wheeler to the shop of RSS worker Sreenivasan where they hacked him to death in broad daylight in Palakkad. The RSS worker was attacked by assailants at his shop where the suspects reportedly arrived at the spot on motorbikes. This murder seems to be a retaliation to the murder of a PFI activist Subair on April 15. He was allegedly hacked to death at Elappully in the district while he was returning home after from mosque on Friday afternoon.
