Midnapore: Bullet ridden bodies of four
CPI-M members were found on the road in Maoist-affected West
Midnapore district today.
Police said the bodies of Bijay Mahto, Manik Mahto and
Brihaspati Mahto bearing bullet wounds were found in the
morning hours in front of a college at Sebaytan village.
A note believed to have been left behind by the Maoists
near the bodies said the men were accorded the 'extreme
punishment' by 'peoples verdict' as they had acted as police
informers.
Police said the three had been called out of their homes
at around 1.30 am and were gunned down.
The body of a fourth person, Robi Mahto bearing bullet
wounds was found at around noon at Salgeria village in Salboni

The man, who had given himself up to the Maoists
yesterday, had been called out of his home last night and
killed.
In another incident, the Maoists blew up a beat office of
the forest department at Jhitka using a landmine, the police
said.
