FAR-RIGHT paramilitary forces linked to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have been accused of killing a 15-year-old student during a temple festival on Wednesday night.
The boy, known as Abhimanyu, was stabbed to death in Kerala’s Alappuzha district. He was reportedly an activist in the left-wing Students’ Federation of India.
The killing took place on the first day of the festival for the Hindu god Vishnu.
