Rourkela/Koraput: Three persons,
who were suspected to be police informers by the Maoists, were
allegedly killed by the rebels in separate incidents at
Sundargarh and Koraput districts.
Around 300 armed Maoists went to Nangalakata village
bordering Salanda forest in Sundergarh district this morning
and forced six villagers to walk to a school building, police
sources said.
They killed two of them, Anup Singh and Bisra Singh,
by slitting their throats and set the others free, they said,
adding, posters left behind by the ultras warned of death for
anyone supporting the police.
At Odiapentha village in Koraput district, a group of
50 Maoists, citing similar reasons, killed Sambaru Haika,
after dragging him out of his house last night.
"Security forces have rushed to the spot to ascertain
the reason behind the killings," SDPO (Laxmipur) Y J Rao said.
