Puducherry – A BJP worker Senthil Kumaran was hacked to death in Puducherry at a bakery shop in neighbouring Villianoor, Police informed.

A seven-member gang who had come on three motorcycles on the 26th, threw country bombs at Senthil Kumaran while he was standing near a bakery and subsequently attacked him using lethal weapons leading to his death, they said.

Editorial perspective

Earlier, BJP workers were murdered in Bengal and Kerala only; but currently, they are happening all over the country. The Union Government should take steps to stop this.
