Cong leader killed by Naxals in Chhattisgarh
Sources indicate that the assailants, armed with sharp-edged weapons, launched their assault from a distance of nearly 500 meters from a CAF camp.
The rebels attacked the ‘kotwar’, identified as Sukku Nareti, last night in Sureli village under Antagarh police station area, Kanker’s Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Jaipraksh Badhai said.
A group of armed ultras stormed into Nareti’s house and dragged him out on the street. They then strangled him with a rope and threw the body on a road near the village, the police official said quoting eyewitnesses.

The ultras then fled the spot raising slogans in support of the outlawed Naxal movement, he said.
A police team visited the spot this morning and sent the body for postmortem, the ASP said.
Some Maoists’ pamphlets were recovered from the spot in which Nareti was branded as a “police informer”, he said.
A search has been launched to nab the assailants, the police official added.
