Bangalore: The residence of the newly elected CPI(M) state secretary V J K Nair was attacked by some miscreants at Kallaturu layout in north Bangalore.

"Around eight people ransacked the house and damaged the household furniture", Assistant Commissioner of Police, Pratap Singh told PTI.

The incident occurred late last night when Nair was out of town. Nair's wife was at home when one of the miscreants came there around 2000 hrs, asking his whereabouts. The man later returned at 2300 hrs with his accomplices and ransacked the house.

The attackers spoke Malayalam and referred to the Kannur incidents, said Singh.

"However, we have to still identify the miscreants and it is unclear at this point whether they belonged to any particular party", he said.

A sketch of the main accused was being prepared, based on the description given by Nair's wife, he said.

Meanwhile, police personnel has been posted outside Nair s house to prevent any untoward incident, he added.
