Team News Riveting
Jagdalpur, March 29
The extremists of the outlawed Communist Party of India (Maoist) brutally killed a villager in Chhattisgarh’s restive Narayanpur district after branding him as a police informer.
The victim has been identified as Ramji Dodi, a former deputy sarpanch (village head) of Rajpur under Dhanora police station in Narayanpur. According to police sources, the rebels had served ultimatum to Ramji on two occasions earlier and asked not to work for the police.
On Tuesday night, rebels struck at his residence and picked him up. They took him to the Jhara forests. After brutally killing him, the rebels left the body near the village with a pamphlet threatening that those working for the police would meet the same fate.
Earlier this month, Maoists killed a villager in Tumdiwal under Pungarpal police station in Kondagaon district on the same charge. On March 4, rebels picked up half-a-dozen villagers who were engaged in a religious function.
They took the villagers inside the forests and interrogated them to ascertain whether they were working for the police and passing on the information about their movement. The rebels freed four villagers and detained the two.
One somehow managed to flee from their captivity while the other was brutally done to death.
