Sudhram Brijia was running a tea-cum-breakfast stall near the Sunset point in Netarhat and was killed for allegedly being a police informer, police said referring to chits recovered from the spot.
A group of Maoists allegedly pumped in four bullets into Brijia's stomach last night and two empty cartridges were recovered from the spot, sources said.

A massive search operation was launched to track down the ultras.
Police said as per a chit recovered from the spot, the naxal group has "owned the responsibility" for killing Brijia.
