Maoists execute abducted cops
Our Bureau July 15: The blood-splattered bodies of four assistant constables of Chhattisgarh auxiliary police were today found on a road in Bastar’s restive Bijapur district, some 2km from the spot from where Maoists abducted them on Monday evening. Bijapur police said passers-by spotted the bodies at dawn near Gudma village, a few miles from Kutru town, on the fringes of Indravati National Park. The rebels left a hand-written pamphlet at the site, about 550km from Raipur, claiming responsibility for the killing. “The people have given the verdict to kill them since all four of them have admitted to taking part in anti-Naxalite operations, killing men and women, and burning the huts of people,” read the pamphlet signed by the National Park Area Committee.
The police said the rebels held a so-called “jan adalat” (people’s court) near Gudma late last night, where the four were reportedly killed. Two of the constables had been shot dead at point-blank range, the police said. The throat of the third was slit and the fourth brutally tortured and bludgeoned to death. The victims were identified as Jaidev Yadav, Mangal Sodhi, and Raju Tela of Kutru police station, and Rama Majji of Bedre police station. The four were first recruited as special police officers (SPOs) of the Salwa Judum, a civil militia that took on Maoists in Bastar region with the backing of the state machinery. In July 2011, after the Supreme Court termed the Salwa Judum an “extra-constitutional” force and ordered its disbanding, the four were made auxiliary constables.
