An RSS worker was pulled out of an autorickshaw in Kerala's Thalassery, and attacked with iron rods.

The man, Suresh, suffered injuries to his head, and a leg. He's been taken to the Thalassery co-operative hospital.

Police have begun investigating the attack, suspected to be a case of political violence.

The attack on Suresh was reported a day after BJP leaders and workers, including Union Ministers Kiren Rijiju and VK Singh, protested against political killings in Kerala.

The Communist Party - Marxist (CPM) countered the move with a protest of their own.
