Malkangiri: Maoists killed a person suspecting him to be a police informer at Khajuriguda area under Jodamba police station limits of Malkangiri district Tuesday night.
The ultras also roughed up two other persons from the village who were allegedly supporting the deceased in his work.
The deceased has been identified as Das Khemudu and the injured ones are Sana Hantal and Samuru Khila.
Sources said, about 25-30 ultras barged into the house of Das Khemudu and dragged him out Tuesday night. They accused him of passing information about them to the police and beat him up. They also thrashed Sana Hantal and Samuru Khila who are the neigbours of the deceased.
The Red Rebels later took only Das Khemudu with them to a place nearly 5 kilometres away from his home and killed him by slitting his throat.

The landmines and few tiffin bombs were planted by Maoists to apparently cause harm to security personnel. The improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were unearthed by a team of BSF 9th Battalion jawans in Swabhiman Anchal during a combing operation. The jawans also seized a huge cache of Maoist items from the jungle during the combing operation.
