Kannur: A daylong shutdown was called by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in a town in Kerala's northern Kannur district yesterday after the killing of an RSS activist.

RSS activist C.K. Anoop was killed in a bomb explosion at Eranjoli near Thalassery, about 25 km from here, late on Friday night. Another activist, identified as Rijesh, was admitted to hospital with serious injuries.

The RSS has alleged that Anoop was killed in a bomb attack carried out by workers of the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M).

The CPI-M has, however, refuted the charge saying that the RSS activist was killed while handling a country-made bomb himself.
