Naxalites attack and kill man accused of being a traitor in Chhattisgarh, sparking search operation by police.
“Maoists have killed a 41-year-old man in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur district, claiming he was leaking information about the outlawed movement,” police said on Monday, January 27, 2025.
“As per preliminary information, unidentified Maoists attacked Bhadru Sodhi, a resident of Keshamundi Village under Bhairamgarh police station limits, with an axe at his house on Sunday (January 26, 2025) evening following which he died on the spot,” a police official here said.
“After being alerted, a police team rushed to the spot on Monday (January 27, 2025) morning and the body was sent for post-mortem,” he said.
“A pamphlet issued by the Bhairamgarh area committee of Maoists was found at the spot in which the deceased was accused of being a traitor,” he said.
“The Maoists also claimed in the pamphlet that Sodhi was active in the anti-Maoist civil militia Salwa Judum movement, which was disbanded in 2011, and indulged in leaking information pertaining to the outlawed CPI (Maoist),” the official said.
“A search operation has been launched in the area to trace the assailants,” he added.
Maoists are on the back foot due to the continuous anti-Maoist operations being run in the district, and they have also lost their areas of strongholds following the establishment of new camps of security forces in their core areas.
