ON December 24, in another brutal incident, a DYFI and CPI(M) worker was hacked to death by Indian Union Muslim League criminals in Kanjangad, in Kasargod district. Auf Abdurahman (27) was a member of Kalluravi unit committee of DYFI. He was hacked to death at 10.30 pm. Auf Abdurahman was on the way to his home after getting some money from a friend to treat his pregnant wife Shahina. The IUMLcriminals stopped his motorcycle and stabbed with sharp weapons. Auf’s friend Shuhaib was also injured in the attack. While taking both of them to the Kanjangad government hospital, Auf breathed his last. The autopsy report says that internal organs including lungs were damaged due to the attack. The incident occurred in a league stronghold as the UDF had suffered a huge setback in the recently concluded local body elections. Many families who had voted for IUML in previous elections voted in favour of LDF in the recently concluded local body elections. This was the immediate provocation for the murder.

Auf is the grandson of Alampadi Ustad, eminent Sufi guru and son of Abdulla Darimi and Aysha.

Apart from Auf Abdurahman, five CPIM activists were killed by political opponents in the last five months.
