Raipur, Dec 9 (Inditop.com) About 50 armed Maoists raided a Chhattisgarh village and gunned down two brothers allegedly on charges of spying, police said Wednesday.
The incident took place Tuesday night in Kanker district’s Thema village in Bastar, about 200 km south of the state capital Raipur.
“Guerrillas raided the village and took away two brothers- Rakesh, 30, and Rajuram, 25, into a nearby forested area and shot them dead on charges of being police informers,” Vishwa Ranjan, director general of police, told Inditop over the phone.
He said the rebels shot at another civilian of the same village, Chabilal Markam, 30. The villagers said Markam was taken to a government hospital and was in a critical condition.
Police say over 1,500 people have been killed in the state since 2004 in Maoist related violence.
