Police arrests Prabesh, a RSS worker for hurling bombs at police picket in Kannur, Kerala

A Rashrtiya Swayam Sevak worker has been arrested for hurling a bomb at the police picket post in Nayanar Road, Ponniam, Thalassery, Kannur. Prabesh K, of Palaparambath House in Kodakkalam, has been arrested from Coimbatore.

Bomb exploded in the wee hours of January 16, at around 1 am. It was a steel bomb that exploded at the Nayanar Road’s police picket.

The cops have said that the accused has admitted to hurling the bomb near the Kathirur Manoj Seva Kendram in Nayanar Road. Prabesh’s real aim was to hit the Seva Kendram and not the police picket post, Prabesh told the police. It was a deliberate attempt to create a conflict there, the accused said in a statement to the police.

According to report in The News Minute,Manoj Seva Kendram is the RSS party office in Kathirur. Nijeesh says, "The attack must have been because of either of two reasons. One, he had an issue with the police earlier and wanted to attack the police picket post to scare them. The second reason could be that he wanted to create a political conflict by throwing a bomb at the RSS office and making it seem like an attack by the CPI(M). He was drunk too. We took the case after the complaint by the police."

The accused already has 10 police cases in his name.
