Kerala Police is questioning eight suspects in connection with the alleged double murder in Alappuzha, Kerala.

According to the police, the bike used in the murder of Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) OBC Morcha state secretary Ranjit Srinivasan has been seized.

The two killings of senior political functionaries of SDPI and BJP shook Alappuzha in Kerala, forcing the local administration to impose Section 144 in the district.

In two separate incidents, Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) state secretary KS Shan was allegedly attacked and murdered in Kerala’s Alappuzha on Saturday night.

This was followed by a separate incident in which BJP OBC Morcha state secretary Ranjit Srinivasan was murdered by unidentified persons at his house in Alappuzha early on Sunday.

According to police, Shaan was on a two-wheeler when he was attacked by a gang traveling in a car on Saturday night. SDPI has alleged that RSS workers are behind this attack.
