Maoists killed a leader of a tribal outfit late on Thursday night in Koraput district suspecting him to be a police informer.
Rohini Nachika was murdered with his throat slit at his Borigi village under Narayanpatna block in the night and dragged him out of his house.
A group of Red rebels barged into his house and dragged him out. His body was spotted by villagers in a pool of blood some distance away from his house.
Notably, Nachika had surrendered before district police as a Maoist supporter.
Police sent the body for postmortem and began
investigating into the ghastly incident.
