Sukma: A villager has been brutally murdered allegedly by Naxalites in Sukma district of Chhattisgarh, police said on Sunday.

A group of 10-15 Naxalites allegedly carried out the killing, using sharp-edged weapons to attack the victim in Poovarti village under Jagaragunda police station area on Saturday.

A suspicion that the victim was a police informer allegedly led to his murder. The incident has created an atmosphere of fear and terror in the area.

Poovarti village is the home of top Naxalite leader Madavi Hidma. Several incidents involving the Naxalites have occurred in the village in the past.

Upon receiving information about the incident, police and other security forces reached the spot and cordoned off the area.

Authorities are questioning villagers and trying to identify the Naxalites involved.

Police officials said a special operation is on to track down the Maoists involved in the incident.

7 Maoist Killed

Yesterday on 7 June, security forces get success in killing seven Maoist leaders during anti-Naxal operations here in the Bijapur district of Chhattisgarh.

Anti-Naxal operations have been conducted in the national park area for the last three days. In this operation seven Naxalite bodies have been recovered after encounters at several places on 05, 06, and 07 June.

Hardcore Maoists Surrender

In a significant development, 24 hardcore Maoists, carrying a total bounty of ₹87.5 lakh, surrendered before security forces in Bijapur district of Chhattisgarh on Friday. Among them, 20 Maoists had rewards ranging from ₹50,000 to ₹10 lakh announced for their capture.

The surrenders are seen as a positive outcome of the government's effective Surrender and Rehabilitation Policy-2025 and the 'Niyad Nella Naar Yojana'.

Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai tweeted that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and guidance of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, the eradication of Left-Wing Extremism by March 2026 is certain. This surrender is a part of that decisive journey.

The Chief Minister added that Maoists are now realising that the path of violence leads to endless destruction. They are leaving the path of militancy and joining the mainstream. The state government is fully committed to the rehabilitation and reintegration of these surrendered Maoists.
