Two tribals were shot dead and another beaten up brutally by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres at Veeravaram village of Chintapalli Block (administrative unit) in Visakhapatnam District of Andhra Pradesh in the wee hours of July 18, reports Hindustan Times. The deceased, identified as Emilli Satti Babu (40) and Pangi Raja Rao (43), were branded as ‘police informers’ by the Maoists. Another tribal – Pangi Linga, was beaten up indiscriminately. Police said around 12-15 armed Maoists came to the village after midnight and dragged Satti Babu, Raja Rao and Linga out of their beds. “They first beat up the three tribals branding them as police informers and then gunned two of them down. Linga repeatedly pleaded with them to spare him. They beat him black and blue with sticks and left him at his house,” Annaram Sub-Inspector (SI) Raghu Varma said. The Maoists left a note at the village saying that they were compelled to kill the two tribals as they were responsible for killing of two of their colleagues – Sharat and Ganapathi— in the past. “The police informers should accept their mistakes and lead a normal life,” the note said.
