The increasing divisive politics of the nation have led to various political killings in the region.
These barbaric acts of violence have seen a worrying increase in the past year.
A similar tragic act has happened in the state of Karnataka where Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Yuva Morcha worker Praveen Nettaru has been hacked to death with lethal weapons by unidentified people on a bike in Bellari, Dakshina Kannada on late Tuesday evening.
