In a shocking incident, Naxalites have claimed yet another life in the volatile Bijapur district of Chhattisgarh. Dinesh Pujari, a 35-year-old resident of Putkel village, met a tragic end on Tuesday night. Authorities suspect his murder was motivated by accusations of him acting as a police informer.
Bijapur has experienced a surge in Naxalite violence, with police on Wednesday confirming that Pujari was killed using sharp-edged weapons. Pamphlets recovered at the scene suggested the Maoists targeted him due to alleged links with the police.
The latest attack raises the toll of Naxalite-related killings this year in Bastar division to 53, underscoring the region's ongoing struggles with insurgency. Law enforcement has launched a comprehensive search to apprehend those responsible.
