Maoists hacked to death two men, one of them their former colleague, at a village in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur district on the suspicion of being police informers, an official said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The incident took place on Monday night in Bugdicheru village under the Tarrem police station area, he said.<\/p>\n
A group of unidentified Maoists marched into the village and dragged Karam Raju (32) and Madvi Munna (27) out of their houses. They then slit their throats with sharp-edged weapons, leading to their death on the spot, the official said.<\/p>\n
After being alerted by villagers, a police team rushed to the spot in the morning and sent the bodies for post-mortem, he said.<\/p>\n
A pamphlet issued by the Jagargunda area committee of Maoists was found at the spot in which the two who died were accused of acting as police informers, he said.<\/p>\n
Raju was once an active Maoists who later surrendered and was leading a normal life in the village, he said.<\/p>\n
Investigations revealed Maoists had assaulted Munna in the past too after accusing him of acting as a police informer. Munna’s elder brother was murdered by Maoists a few years back in Potali village in neighbouring Dantewada district, the official said.<\/p>\n
Maoists have suffered huge losses in their rank and file and senior members in the last one year in anti-Maoist operations carried out by security forces. They have also ceded territories under their control following the establishment of new security camps in their core areas, the official said.<\/p>\n
Maoists are venting their frustration on innocent tribal villagers and targeting them by accusing them of being “traitors” and police informers, he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On January 26, Maoists killed a 41-year-old man in Bhairamgarh area of Bijapur after accusing him of leaking information about the outlawed CPI (Maoist). On January 16, Maoists killed a 48-year-old man in Mirtur area of Bijapur on the suspicion of being a police informer.<\/p>\n
According to police, 68 civilians were killed last year in separate incidents of Maoist violence in the Bastar region comprising seven districts, including Bijapur.<\/p>\n
So far this year, 50 Maoists have been killed by security forces in separate encounters in the state. Last year, 219 Maoists were neutralised by security forces in Chhattisgarh, police said.<\/p>\n
