Two activists of a Hindu group were killed in Goa when explosives being ferried in their scooter went off in a traffic jam, police said Saturday. The group called the blasts “unfortunate”.

Police said the scooter belonged to Nishad Bakhle, an alleged member of Sanathan Saunstha, a rightwing Hindu group headquartered in the temple town of Ramnathi.
……
The truck was carrying nearly 40 people and was headed for a ‘narakasura’ competition where thousands were gathered to see several giant effigies set on fire as part of a popular Diwali tradition in Goa.

The Sanatan Saunstha, formed a quarter century ago, opposes the ‘narakasura’ festival. The right-wing group’s motto is: “Evil should be destroyed.”
