Maoists kill tribal on spying charge
By IANSFriday, April 23, 2010
RAIPUR - A group of about 40 Maoist guerrillas murdered a tribal man in Chattisgarh’s violence-hit Dantewada district allegedly because he was a spy, police said Friday.
The incident took place Thursday night at Bhusaras village, about 40 km south of state capital Raipur.
The Maoist rebels stormed into 35-year-old Marwi Manoj’s house and beat him up severely before slitting his throat. They then walked away shouting slogans in support of the Maoist movement, officers at the police headquarters here said.
Primary investigations suggest that the Maoists killed Manoj because he was a police informer.
