BJP worker shot dead in his house by ultras

The armed ultras forcibly entered the house of Saryu Yadav, president of BJP's Simdega block committee, at Banavira village last night and pumped a bullet into his chest killing him on the spot.

His wife Suman Devi also suffered serious bullet injuries, the police said.

Yadav was the third BJP block president in the district killed by the extremists in the last six years.
