Bijapur:
A Maoist couple planning to get married and another person were killed by Maoists in separate attacks in the forests of Bijapur district of Chhattisgarh, police said today.
According to preliminary information, Maoists on Thursday killed two of their own cadres, a couple who had fled a camp, in a remote forest below the borders of Gangaloor Police Station, while another person was also killed in the same area, an official said. .
“Police have received information about these killings in the Gangaloor area from multiple sources and further details are being collected,” Inspector General of Police (Bastar Range) Sundarraj P told PTI.
Preliminary reports suggest that Maoist platoon commander Kamlu Punem and militiaman Mangi had recently run away from a Maoist camp to get married. However, their colleagues tracked down the couple and brutally murdered them after they ran a ‘jan adalat’ (kangaroo court) detained in Indian village,” said the officer.
Punem was wanted in connection with 11 Maoist incidents, while Mangi, with whom he was in a relationship, was named in three such violations, he said, adding that the duo was associated with the Maoists’ Gangaloor Area Committee.
Details about the third person killed are still being collected, he added.
