In yet another act of barbarity, Maoists killed a tribal youth in Malkangiri district, suspecting him to be a police informer.
According to reports, a group of 10 to 15 Maoists reached Panimetala village in the late night hours on Wednesday and abducted 27-year-old Bhima Madhi, whose bullet-ridden body was found lying on the main road near MPV-31 village by the villagers in the early morning hours on Thursday.
The villagers also found two Maoists posters near the body.
While one poster said that Bhima was killed for being a police informer, the other poster was on the call for a Malkangiri Bandh on Thursday to protest the killing of three Maoists by tribals at Biravaram village on the Odisha-Andhra Pradesh border on October 20.
Police recovered Bhima’s body and sent it to the District Headquarters Hospital for postmortem. The police suspected involvement of the Kalimela Dalam of Maoists in the murder of the tribal youth.
Following the incident, combing operation in the area has been intensified by security forces, reports said.
