In another incident, a CPM office was on Friday set on a fire in Kozhikode, a day after a bomb was thrown at the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) office near Nadapuram.

No casualties have been reported so far.

On Thursday, four RSS workers were injured after some unknown persons hurled a crude bomb at the RSS office.

The attack on RSS office took place hours after the organization functionary — Kundan Chandravat, 'Sah Prachar Pramukh' in Madhya Pradesh ​— announced a Rs one crore bounty for beheading Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.

"The Kerala Chief Minister is killing our RSS workers who want to take this country forward. I will pay Rs one crore to anyone who beheads him even if I have to sell my house," Chandravat was seen saying in a video, which has gone viral. The RSS, however, distanced itself from Chandravat's remarks.
