Maoists gun down Salwa Judum leader in Chhattisgarh

Naxals on Tuesday shot dead a 50-year-old Salwa Judum leader outside his house at Gangapur village in Bijapur district of Chhattisgarh, a senior police officer said.

Chika Mazi was taking a walk outside his house located near a crowded market when some armed ultras fired at him, killing Mazi on the spot, according to Additional Superintendent of Police BPS Rajbhanu.

The murder triggered panic among people who ran helter skelter after the gunshots were fired. On receipt of information, police reached the spot and shifted Mazi's body to a hospital.

"Mazi had actively participated in Salwa Judum movement in Naxal stronghold of Bastar and had built a good rapport with the villagers," Rajbhanu said.

He said the rebels were after Salwa Judum leaders after the movement was started in 2006 in Bastar region and were targeting those associated with the now defunct force.

The Supreme Court had last year ruled that creation of Koya commandos and Salwa Judum was in violation of the Constitution and termed as illegal and unconstitutional the appointment and arming of civilians as Special Police Officers in the movement.

Meanwhile, Naxals are observing a "protest week" to stop training given to Army in the Bastar region, and has also announced a bandh in Dandkaranya region on June 7.

The Maoists today felled trees and dug up roads as part of their ongoing protests in Dantewada district, police said.

Naxals kidnap panchayat samiti member in Maharashtra

NAGPUR: The first time Pamchayat Samiti member, Raveena Gavde, was kidnapped on Saturday night from remote Rajaram Khandla village in Aheri taluka. It is reportedly said the abduction was facilitated by Naxals to create panic among the elected representatives and the office-bearers of local civic body.

Raveena, who was reportedly staying with Mulchand, was to marry him on Tuesday.

Gave was elected to the local civic body in the Zilla Parishad and Panchayat Samiti election held in February earlier this year despite Naxals' resistance to the democratic process. Police, however, have categorically denied her kidnapping.

The abduction has forced the police and the district administration to go on the backfoot as the ultras have started targeting the elected representatives and office bearers of the local civic bodies just after the election for defying their diktat.

The rebels have also issued threats to the elected representatives to either quit their respective posts or else face their wrath. Due to this, several elected representatives from Bhamragarh and Etapalli in south Gadchiroli have already resigned from their posts citing personal or other reasons.

The Naxals had gunned down an NCP leader Kewal Atkamwar at Etapalli, and Bhamragarh Congress block president and incumbent chairperson of Panchayat Samiti Bahadur Shah Alam earlier this year to further strengthen their terror.

Man ‘abducted' by Maoists in Odisha

A person is suspected to have been abducted by Maoists in Bisamkatak block of Rayagada district.

The victim is Nabaghan Wadeka of Khambasi village under Bisamkatak police station limits.

He is alleged to have taken away from his home by a group of persons suspected to be Maoists. When contacted Rayagada district Superintendent of Police (SP) Anup Krishna said they have received information about this allegation of abduction and investigation is on to find out the truth. Wadeka is suspected to have faced wrath of Leftist ultras as he was involved in some developmental works taken up by the Vedanta Alumina Limited (VAL).

According to sources, Wadeka is now involved in the construction of a school building in the area, which was sponsored by the VAL.

Maoists are also opposing the mining and refinery projects of VAL.

It is suspected that Maoists may have abducted him to threaten him to refrain from the work. It may be noted that in recent past abductions have become a major tool of Maoists. In April the Odisha State Organising Committee (OSOC) had abducted two Italian tourists in Kandhamal district.

Few days after that Maoists of Andhra-Odisha Border Special Zonal Committee (AOBSZC) had abducted Laxmipur MLA Jhina Hikaka. All the hostages had been released safely after mediation. But in May Maoists had abducted an assistant sub-inspector of police in Nuapada district who was murdered after few hours.

Panchayat member's house attacked in Kashmir, terror threats forcing many to quit

SRINAGAR: Unidentified gunmen attacked a panchayat (village self-government) member's house with automatic rifles at Gaffabal in Jammu & Kashmir's Kulgam district on Thursday night. The attack came two days after the terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammad had asked village local bodies' members in the area to resign. The warning and the latest attack has triggered mass resignations of 'panchs' and 'sarpanchs' in south Kashmir, where Kulgam is located.

Police said Mushtaq Ahmad Bhat and his family was home at the time of the attack, but they escaped unhurt.

Panchayat elections were held in the state after three decades last year and seen as the government's attempts to capitalize on an unprecedented spell of calm and an all time dip in militant violence. The government recently empowered panchayats with more powers for more effective governance at the grassroots level.

Reports said the Jaish-e-Muhammad's purported treat along with a similar warning from the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) earlier has so far forced about 20 panch and sarpanchs to resign. A number of sarpanchs and panchs have been shot at, mostly in their legs, in the valley since LeT's warning earlier this year.

But officials have denied any such resignations. "None of the panchayat members have submitted their resignations officially," an official said. But local newspapers carried notices of at least seven panchayat members, including women, from Rajpora in south Kashmir's Pulwama district announcing their resignations on Friday.

"We inform everybody that we have nothing to do with panchayats and are not affiliated with any political party," one of the notices said.

Police chief K Rajendra Kumar assured full security to panchayat members in case they ask for it.

A police officer said they were trying to establish the veracity of the posters threatening panchayat members. ``(We are verifying) whether the posters were actually issued by militant organisations or someone else to keep them away from day-to-day work," he said.

Civil contractor shot dead by Naxals in Maharashtra

NAGPUR: The Naxal action team struck again in Gadchiroli. This time, the armed guerillas in civil attires shot dead Sanjay Mandal, a civil contractor, after calling him out of his residence on the pretext of some work at Pendhri in Dhanora taluka on Monday evening.

The incident took place within short distance from the Pendhri sub-police station. The Maharashtra-Chhattisgarh border too is within 15 km from the place where the Naxals killed the contractor in cold blood.

Victim Sanjay Mandal, engaged in road construction work between Pendhri-Pakhanjur, was fetched to a place close to his residence by two Naxals in civil dress where the rebels pumped three bullets into Mandal's body from close range, leaving him dead on spot.

Police said that pistol was used to fire the bullets. Sources from the security agencies claimed that Mandal was earlier known to be close to the rebels.

Though Naxals are known to oppose projects like road constructions, the motive behind Mandal's killing was yet to be clear.

Last month, the Naxals had abducted and killed a supervisor at Gatta Jambhia after picking him up from his construction site. The Naxals learnt to have warned the supervisor Tapan Tembhare not to engage labourers at cheaper rate.

Seems to be a daily occurrence and i hope the authorities get on top of it.
I find it typically incredible that our Indians are on this forum in their packs hovering to post on subjects such as mangos bananas and in fact anything to do with faults with our nation yet threads like this they dare not venture. Perhaps they are looking for an escapism from their own realities. Perhaps living in a world with their heads buried in the sand has become a way of life for them. The obsession is so so deep...
