Communist Party of India (Marxists) attacked a pregnant woman and her husband for leaving the CPM and joining the Bharatiya Janata Party.
The incident reportedly happened at Maruthongara near Kozhikode.
The couple were attacked at their home. The CPM goons are said to have kicked and trampled on the pregnant woman’s stomach.
She was later taken to the hospital.
The Thottilpalam Police have registered case against the perpetrators. The BJP has demanded a stern action against the CPM goons.
They said that the CPM goons have resorted to violence as retaliation as many people from the area have been leaving the party.
