Two people were killed by Naxals on Saturday on suspicion of being police informers, taking the total number of deceased to seven in the last fifteen days.

The incident comes two days after Naxals set ablaze vehicles here in the villages of Kurkheda, Korchi and Potegaon.

Gadchiroli district is a Maoist hotbed. Last year, 40 Naxals were smoked out in two encounters in April in the forested areas of Kasansur in Bhamragad taluka of the district.

Further details are awaited.
