Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres killed a person by slitting his throat at a ‘Praja court’ (people’s/ Kangaroo Court hold by the rebels), three days after the abduction of three villagers on suspicion of being ‘police informers’ from Kukurukundi village under Mathili Police limits in Malkangiri District of Odisha on June 30, reports Orissa Post. The tribal civilian was identified as Buja Kabasi. The suspected Maoists after killing Buja released two others from their detention after assaulting them brutally. According to reports, the Maoists had abducted two tribals along with Buja Kabasi – Masa Sodi and Unga Kalmali – on the suspicion that they were ‘police informers’ who knew the whereabouts of the Maoists. Later, the Maoists conducted a ‘Praja court’ at Dandipadar on June 27, and tried the three on charges of being ‘police informers’. The Maoists allegedly instructed them to refrain from being ‘police informers’ and beat them up severely in the presence of several top cadre Naxalites [Left Wing Extremists, LWEs] from Chhattisgarh and Malkangiri area. However, three days after their abduction the Maoists killed Buja by slitting his throat and dumped the body on a road at Kukurukundi before fleeing.
