Maoists slit throats of three in Jharkhand

Maoist guerrillas have killed three people by slitting their throat in Jharkhand's Simdega district, police said Tuesday.

The three people were abducted Monday night and their bodies were recovered Tuesday morning near Kuladrum village, around 110 km from Ranchi.

Police also found a pamphlet of a Maoist organisation, People's Liberation Front of India. The pamphlet said the killed people were misusing the name of the organisation and that they were police informers.

Maoist guerrillas are active in 18 of the 22 districts in the state.
