BHUBANESWAR:
For the first time, the Maoists on Thursday killed a villager in Angul district
protesting security personnel’s anti-Maoist operation in the State. The body
was found on Friday morning, police sources said.
A
gang of five armed Maoists arrived at Patamunda village under the Pallahara
police limits in Angul district at about 9pm on Thursday in search of a
villager Samuel Bodra. After a brief search, they took Bodra with them and
hacked him to death with an axe after tying his hands and legs with a rope.
The
villagers found the body with some Maoist posters near it on the outskirts of
the village on Friday morning. The Kalinganagar-Ghumusar Divisional Committee
of the CPI (Maoist) claimed through the poster that they have killed Bodra
suspecting him a police informer.
After
getting information from locals, the police rushed to the spot and took the
body for post mortem. Meanwhile, police have begun combing operation in
Patamunda forest area to trace out the Maoists, sources said.
The
fresh killing by the left wing extremists proved their strong presence in the
tribal dominated areas of Angul district. Earlier, two men were kidnapped by
the ultras in the same area last year.
