Naxals Kill Two in Munger District
Munger: May 30, 2007
Once again exposing the state government's utter failure in containing Naxal violence in Bihar, over 200 armed Maoist guerillas in Satgharwa village in Munger district on late Tuesday night dragged two persons from their homes and slashed their throats killing them on the spot.
Another person who was also pulled out of his home was, however, beaten but spared by the terrorists, reports said.
According to the police report, over 200 Naxal guerillas, including many women, all wearing army fatigues, stormed into the village and dragged out Ramchandra Yadav, a Janata Dal (U) activist, Anil Yadav, and Ranjan Kumar from their homes after taking them to the market chowk, slashed Ramchandra and Anil's throat.
Ranjan Kumar, the nephew of Ramchandra Yadav, however, was spared his life but not before he was given a serious beating, the police said.
The victims were believed to be police informants that turned out to be fatal for them. The police, however, deny that the two were secretly working for them.
Senior police officials including the Superintendent of Police (SP) and Dharhara police station in-charge are camping at the village where panic prevails among the residents.
No arrest has been made in the case yet.
