Mahendra Karma sons get Naxal death threat
Naxals on Friday threatened to “eliminate” slain Mahendra Karma’s two
sons — Chhavindra and Deepak — for initiating the move to revive
anti-Naxal vigilante force Salwa Judum, founded by their late father in
Chhattisgarh’s conflict zone of Bastar. In a press release issued by
West Bastar division of outlawed CPI (Maoist), the rebels said, “We will
kill Chhavindra Karma and Deepak Karma in ‘jan yudhh’ (people’s war) if
they revived Salwa Judum in Bastar”.
Maoist leaflets threatening to kill the junior Karmas were circulated
in remote Bastar region, including in areas close to the home of Karma
family in the village of Farsapal in south Bastar district of Dantewada,
a senior police officer posted in Bastar told this newspaper. Mahendra
Karma, the founder of Salwa Judum, was brutally killed along with 26
other Congress leaders of Chhattisgarh in the Naxal ambush on their
convoy at Jiram Ghati in Bastar district on May 25, 2013. Chhavindra has
announced to launch a “peaceful movement” in the line of Salwa Judum
under the banner of “Vikash Sangharsh Samiti” to take on Maoists in
Bastar on May 25. Meanwhile, Congress in Chhattisgarh has distanced
itself from the decision by Mr Chhavindra Karma, a PCC secretary, to
launch Salwa Judum-2, saying the junior Karma has not intimated the
party about his move.
In another development, armed red guerrillas set on fire six
machineries deployed for construction of railway line at Tudparas in
Dantewada district early on Thursday morning in protest against the move
to revive Salwa Judum in Bastar.

Maharashtra: Naxals kill abducted youth
Naxals had killed a youth from Kolsegudam village in Aheri tehsil in
Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra whom they had abducted a few days
ago, police said today. Naxals abducted Ravindra Shankar Sunkri (24),
son of the police patil of the village, on the suspicion that he was a
police informer on May 16. Police said that Ravindra had been indeed
working as a special police officer between 20013 and September 2014.
Around 15 armed Naxals had taken him away from his house.
Police then launched a search operation, during which there was an
exchange of fire with the ultras in a forest near village Asha and some
Naxals were injured. The ultras killed Ravindra to take revenge for this
skirmish, a police release here said. A Naxal pamphlet found near his
body said Ravindra was killed because he was working as an SPO.
