  • The Marad massacre was the incident of religious violence leading to the killing of Hindus and Muslim at the Marad Beach of the Kozhikode district, Kerala, India. In the 2002 Marad massacre at Marad, three Hindus and two Muslims were killed in a sudden breach of peace due to scuffles between two groups that began as a trivial altercation over drinking water at the public tap. Out of 393 people arrested, 213 were from Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). In the 2003 Marad massacre eight Hindus were killed by Islamic extremist and one attacker, Mohammed Ashker, was hit by accident and was also killed. The judicial commission that probed the incident concluded that leaders of the Indian Union Muslim League were directly involved in both the conspiracy and execution of the massacre. This political party was directly involved in both the conspiracy and execution of Kerala’s worst ever communal carnage, says the report of the judicial commission probing the three-year-old Marad massacre The commission affirmed "a clear communal conspiracy, with Muslim fundamentalist organisations involved". The commission couldn't find evidence to support the involvement of foreign organisations. The courts sentenced 62 Muslims to life imprisonment for committing the massacre in 2009 – most of whom belonged to the Indian Union Muslim League, People's Democratic Party, and National Development Front. The attackers also threw bombs with the intention of inflicting more deaths, but the bombs did not explode. (en)
