Naxalites Kill BJP Worker In Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur

Naxalites allegedly strangled BJP worker Satyam Punem in Bijapur’s Mujalkanker area, suspecting him of being a police informer. A pamphlet by the Maoist Madded committee claimed responsibility. Nearly 40 people have died in Maoist-linked violence across Bastar this year, with BJP leaders increasingly targeted in ongoing attacks.
