Karnataka BJP Worker's Killing Triggers Face-Off With Congress

The murder of a young man in Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka has caused tension in the region. Deepak Rao was hacked to death on Wednesday and the RSS mourned his death, describing him as a Hindu activist. The BJP's state president, BS Yeddyurappa said that without even telling the parents, the body was taken from the hospital to his home. "They did not allow a procession. This is the government's style of functioning. The law and order situation is so bad that people feel they can get away with murder, especially in Mangaluru," he said.
