Naxals kill college student in Jharkhand | A college student was shot dead by suspected Maoists at Bodam in East Singhbhum district of Jharkhand. According to police, nineteen-year-old Malinder Singh was shot dead
when returning home after Saraswati Puja preparation last night at Khokro village.
He was an intermediate student of Chandil College . The Security agencies are
carrying out search operations in the area. The deceased was guarding his village
along with two other local youths against CPI (Maoist). Police said, on the fateful
night, on finding a group of Maoists coming to their village, he raised alarm-making
loud announcement of the visit of the Maoists to the village. The visiting Maoists
in retaliation shot at Singh killing him on the spot. Notably the villagers of
Dalma Hill Range foot hill areas under Boram Police Station of East Singhbhum
mobilised under the banner of Gram Ganrajy - a Panchayat Parishad - raising voice
against the Maoists for their anti-people activities. The killing incident has
evoked sharp reaction among the local villagers against the Maoists. Addressing
the media after reviewing the anti Naxal operations with Chief Ministers of Chhattisgarh
and Orissa, Union Home Minister P Chidambaram condemned the attack on innocent
villagers and school children by the Maoists. |
