Bijapur: In a very heinous act, Naxals brutally killed an Anganwadi worker in the Basaguda police station area of Bijapur district. This incident happened last night at 8 PM at Timmapur village, practically one kilometer away from a CRPF camp. The victim is a woman named Laxmi; her son witnessed her rape and murder using sharp instruments after she was dragged out of her home.
When Laxmi’s son arrived to intervene, a fight occurred between him and the attackers, resulting in the sad story above. Such a murder has raised more concern among the members of society because it has left the community in so much shock and fear. When informed, police went to the scene, entered a report and handed the body to a mortuary for further examination. The police say that a manhunt has been launched to apprehend the culprits.
The Naxals have accepted the murder through a pamphlet that has been released in the name of the Madded Area Committee. They alleged she was a police informer, which they put forward as the reason for the murder in the pamphlet they released. Additional Superintendent of Police Chandrakant Gavarna said the incident is true and affirmed that revengers comprise policemen.
This act of violence has reminded society again of the plight of the helpless civilians situated in the zones controlled by Naxals. This incident of murder was near a security camp; thus, the scope and the extent of the control of Naxal groups in that region suggest a good deal of impudence. So far, the police have warned residents to be alert and report any suspicious activity in view of the ongoing investigations.
