Staff Reporter
A pamphlet found in the area threatens that anyone helping police would meet with similar fate.
BERHAMPUR: A woman was murdered, for the first time, by Maoists in Malkangiri district.
Maoists alleged her to be a police informer. Body of a woman, whose identity is yet to be ascertained, was recovered near MV90 village under Kalimela police station on Wednesday morning.
According to Malkangiri SP Satyabrata Bhoi, two shots had been fired at her head at close range. Both shots had hit her, killing her on the spot. It was evident that the murder had occurred in the wee hours of Monday.
Till evening no one had come over to claim the body of the woman. No one in the area had also been able to identify her.
As per the Oriya handwritten pamphlet left by Maoists near her body, the name of the deceased was ‘Kamala’.
The Maoists had not mentioned the place from where she hailed. They threatened that anyone who helped the police would face similar consequences.
Mr Bhoi said “How can this woman be a police informer when no one in the area is able to identify her”. As per the SP, the age of the murdered woman hinted that she may be a naxal cadre who had got disenchanted and escaped from their camp.
“Suspecting that she may surrender and spill vital information about the Maoist activities, the leftist ultras may have killed her,” he added.
