SFI activist killed in Kerala, 3 in custody
Kochi, July 2 : An SFI member was stabbed to death while two others were injured when two student groups got into a late night brawl over graffiti space on the walls of the Maharaja's College here, police said on Monday.
Kerala Police has taken three members of Campus Front into custody and are on the lookout for about a dozen other suspects who got into a fight at the state-funded institute.
The dead activist of the Students Federation of India was identified as Abhimanyu, 19. He was a second year Chemistry student hailing from Idukki.
Trouble started when the SFI and Campus Front activists wanted to put up their wall graffitis ahead of the commencement of the new academic year.
According to SFI state president Sachin Dev, the incident occurred around midnight.
"Many Campus Front activists had come from outside and they created a ruckus. In the melee, they used weapons and an SFI member was killed while two suffered injuries. This was a planned murder," said Dev.
A massive search was conducted to locate all the perpetrators but only three could be nabbed.
Leading CPI-M leaders including Kerala Finance Minister Thomas Issac reached the hospital and condemned the "gruesome" incident.
The SFI has called for a state-wide protest on Monday.

“Modi has opened his legs for Israel,” says US journalist during broadcast
New Delhi: A remark made by an American journalist about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s foreign policy stance towards Israel has triggered discussions online after a clip from a recent broadcast went viral on social media.
Ana Kasparian, co-host and executive producer of the progressive US news programme The Young Turks (TYT), made the comment while discussing Israel’s influence on global alliances and the foreign policies of various countries.
During the segment, Kasparian said: “It looks like Narendra Modi opening up his legs to Israel. Congratulations.”
The statement came in the context of a broader discussion by the programme’s hosts on Israel’s relations with global powers. Kasparian and her co-host Cenk Uygur criticised what they described as one-sided alliances with Israel and argued that such partnerships could draw countries into conflicts in the Middle East.
The discussion also touched on India’s growing strategic ties with Israel, including cooperation in defence, technology and agriculture. Some foreign media outlets have recently highlighted India’s positions in international forums, including votes related to the Gaza situation at the United Nations, as evidence of a shift in its traditional foreign policy stance.
The clip from the broadcast has circulated widely on social media platforms, with users in India and abroad sharing and debating the remark. Some users translated the comment into Hindi and other languages, further expanding its reach online.
Kasparian has previously drawn criticism from pro-Israel groups for her comments on the Israel-Gaza conflict. Her remarks in the latest broadcast have also prompted mixed reactions online, with some users condemning the language used and others engaging in discussions about India’s foreign policy alignment.
