Anonymous persons threw stones at the house of Communist Party of India (Marxist) district secretary Anavoor Nagappan in Thiruvananthapuram early on Sunday. None were injured in the attack. The stones broke windowpanes and landed in a bedroom. Mr. Nagappan was not at home at the time of the incident.
The episode came close on the heels of the arrest of four Akhila Bharathiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) workers for allegedly throwing stones at the CPI(M) district committee office late on Friday.
The retaliatory violence has put the district’s CPI(M) and BJP cadres on edge. Last week, an alleged CPI(M) attack on the ABVP State committee office triggered the tit-for-tat attacks.
