Jamshedpur (PTI): The secretary of a local tribal organisation was killed by suspected Maoists in Jadugora tola of East Singhbhum district in Jharkhand on Wednesday, about two months after the gunning down of a resistance group member in the area.
Superintendent of Police Navin Kumar Singh said Kailash Chandra Hembram, the Secretary of Majhi-Paragana Mahal, was gunned down by two unidentified persons at Jadugora Tola, a few kilometers away from Dumaria.
Hembram, who died on the spot, was on way to a fair from his native village Patnipal. Police were investigating whether Hembram had deliberately been called to the fair by someone.
He was probably tragetted by the Naxalites for being a sympathiser of Nagarik Suraksha Samity, an anti-Naxal organisation, floated by villagers under the tacit support of district police about seven years ago.
The ultras had gunned down the Samity General Secretary, Dhanai Kisku in the copper township of Musaboni on January 5.
