<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Mangalore tense over killing of BJP leader
A BJP leader was hacked to death near Mangalore early on Friday, triggering tension in the area, which had witnessed unprecedented communal riots in October.
Mulki-Moodbidri BJP general secretary Sukhanand Shetty (32), was hacked to death by unidentified men at his office in Kulai. Shetty, a panchayat member of Mulki, was an active member of local Hindu organisations such as Bajrang Dal, Hindu Sene, etc. He was on his way to his office when about five to six unidentified men who came in a Tamil Nadu registered car attacked him with sickles and choppers. In the first week of October, a group had tried to murder him at a lonely place near Mulki, but he had managed to escape then. Several protests were held demanding the arrest of the accused. SP B Dayanand has already rushed to the spot. The coastal city of Mangalore, a saffron bastion, had observed bandhs for several days in October following communal violence when some of Bajarang Dal activists tried to prevent illegal transportation and slaughter of cattle.
