Recently, E Rajesh, a RSS office-bearer was hacked to death in Thiruananthapuram. The BJP had alleged that CPM was behind the murder, however, the charge was vehemently denied by the ruling party.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley who is known for his audacity of admitting a false Number container lorries as SBI money during 2016 election commission raid in Tamilnadu that was later referred to CBI by Highcourt, paid a condolence visit to the slain activist's house.
