Naxals hacked a 25-year-old man to death suspecting him to be a police informer in Chhattisgarh's Gariaband district, police said today.
The district, which borders on Odisha, has witnessed an incident of Naxal violence after a long time.
Anit Kumar Sori was killed at Pendra village under the Mainpur police station limits last night, a local police official told PTI.
A group of armed rebels entered the village, located around 130 km away from the state capital Raipur, and asked Sori to come out of his house, he said.
Sori was attacked with an axe. Afterwards the rebels fled into forest, the official said, quoting eyewitnesses.
A police team reached the spot this morning and sent the body for autopsy. Some Naxal pamphlets, accusing Sori of being a police informer, were found on the spot, the official said.
