Suspected of being informer, teacher killed by Naxalites in C’garh
A man (25), working as a ‘shikshadoot’ (temporary visiting teacher in government schools), was abducted and killed by Naxalites in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur district, on suspicion of being a police informer, an official said today.
The victim, Kallu Tati, was on his way back home from school when Naxalites kidnapped him on Friday evening. They killed him with sharp-edged weapons and dumped his body near the village.
Naxals have been targeting ‘shikshadoots' in the Bastar region, suspecting them to be police informers, and this is the eighth such murder in the tribal-dominated area since June 2023, the police said.
