MP forest department employee killed Maos in Balaghat
The Maos left pamphlets threatening forest officials with dire consequences for their corrupt practices and also locals for being informers of police.
BHOPAL: An employee of the forest department was allegedly abducted and killed Mao on the suspicion of being a police informer near Kanha National Park in Madhya Pradesh’s Balaghat drict, police said. The Maos also left pamphlets threatening forest officials with dire consequences for their corrupt practices and also locals for being informers of police. This was the third killing Maos in Malakhedi village of the drict in the past six months. In November last year, Mao killed two villagers on the suspicion of informing police about their movement. Balaghat additional superintendent of police (ASP), Vijay Dabar said, “Sukhdev Parte, 25, was working as an assant Parsatola forest beat guard. He was shot dead on Tuesday night Maos. A few pamphlets and threatening letters were found near his body on Wednesday morning. Police are investigating the matter.” “In the pamphlets and letters, Maos threatened forest rangers of all six ranges for not producing fake bills and vouchers for money. They also sought the support of villagers in fighting for the rights of the poor and women,” said the officer. In Madhya Pradesh, where there was hardly any Mao movement till three years back, the incidents of Mao movement are being reported frequently in Balaghat, Mandla and Dindori dricts as they are using it as a gateway for Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra. MP government is also coming up with a new rehabilitation policy for Maos.
