2. Deepak, who succumbed to the injuries
sustained in an occurrence that took place on 24.03.2015 was
an office bearer of the political party, Janatha Dal United (JDU).
He was running a ration shop at a place called Pazhuvil Centre.
At about 8.30 p.m. on the relevant day, while Deepak was
standing in front of the ration shop, four persons armed with
Crl.A.No.355 of 2020 & con. case
2025:KER:25828
deadly weapons appeared unexpectedly to that place and two
among them attacked Deepak with the weapons carried by
them. Although a few persons standing on the opposite side of
the road rushed to the said spot and attempted to prevent
further attack on Deepak, one of the assailants created a
scene of terror and others attacked even the said persons and
then fled from that place in a Maruti Omni Van. Even though
Deepak and others viz, Sajeev, Stalin and Sunil who suffered
injuries were taken to Elite Mission Hospital, Koorkenchery,
Deepak died on the same day itself.
