BJP Yuva Morcha worker's murder triggers huge protests in Karnataka
Praveen Nettaru, 32, of the BJP's youth wing Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, was attacked while he was returning home.

Last night, a local Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) member was savagely hacked to death in Karnataka's Dakshin Kannada district, igniting tensions. According to police, Praveen Nettaru, a prominent leader of the BJP's youth wing, Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), was murdered while he was on his way home on motorcycle after closing his shop. It has also led to party workers' mass resignations.

Context
Why does this story matter?
  • District police chief Rushikesh Sonanay stated that limitations had been placed on public gatherings due to tensions in the area.
  • Some right-wing organizations have claimed that Nettaru's murder was orchestrated by the Popular Front of India and the Social Democratic Party of India.
  • Members of the BJP's youth wing have begun mass resignations, claiming that the BJP-led state government failed to protect party workers.

"Three assailants had come on a bike. We've information that the bike had a Kerala registration number. We're scanning CCTV footage for clues," district police chief Rushikesh Sonanay stated.
