Naxals kill jawan


Staff Reporter


BERHAMPUR: Maoists murdered a jawan of the Shasastra Seema Bal (SSB) in Malkangiri district on Wednesday night.
The jawan Manoram Durua had returned to his native village Markapalli under Mathili police station area a few days ago. He was on leave to celebrate the Raja festival. According to the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police Sanjeev Panda it was a cold-blooded murder by Maoists to create havoc in the area.
Around seven to eight armed Maoists had called at the house of Durua on Wednesday night. They had taken the jawan with them and shot him at close range, Mr Panda said. There is suspicion that Maoists resorted to this killing due to a false idea that the jawan was serving the Border Security Force (BSF) who are now deployed in Malkangiri district for a major anti-Maoist joint operation.
The panic of Maoists has started to show up in Malkangiri as five village guards posted in naxal-infested Kalimela police station area were reported to have sent in their resignation letters due to threat of Maoists on their lives. The DIG said these village guards had submitted their resignation letters at the Kalimela police station.
