Maoists kill suspected informers in Chhattisgarh | Maoists killed two villagers here on Tuesday suspecting them to be police informers. A group of at least 30 armed rebels dragged the two brothers,
identified as Rajesh and Ramu Ram, out of their house and killed both of them
in Bansbastar region. One was shot dead while the other was beaten to death. Maoists
have stepped up violence across eastern and central India. They have attacked
schools and police stations, and used landmines and Improvised Explosive Devices
(IEDs) to disrupt infrastructure development projects. They have also hijacked
passenger trains including the prestigious super fast Rajdhani Express, beheaded
policemen and suspected informers and attacked employees of mining companies.
The main objective of the Maoists is to prevent the development of infrastructure
in remote areas, which so far has remained their exclusive domain. Thousands have
been killed by Maoists in the recent past. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has described
the Maoist threat one of the gravest homegrown threats to India's internal security.
The rebels claim they are fighting for the rights of poor farmers and landless
labourers. |
