Four pro-Maoist group supporters found dead

KOLKATA - Bodies of four pro-Maoist People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCAPA) supporters were found in West Bengal’s Bankura district Tuesday, police said.

The bullet-riddled bodies were found lying at Melara village in the Barikul area.

“The needle of suspicion points towards local villagers and the anti-Maoist Public Resistance Committee,” said a police officer.

The PCAPA members had fled to Jharkhand realising the animosity of the locals towards them. They were killed when they tried to return, the officer said.
