Maoists have opened their account on the first day of filling nomination of three –tier Panchayat election by killing a tribal in Koraput district on 7th January suspecting to be a police informer. The tribal Enkanna Kadraka, villager of Elagavalsa under Bandhugaon police station was killed by Maoists in the wee hours of Saturday. This is the first incident occurred at Koraput by the Maoists.

Friday in the midnight while Enkanna Kadraka and his family was sleeping in his farm house, the Maoists have called him and taken him to a nearby place where they brutally killed him.


Prior to killing him, The Maoists held a 'praja court' (People’s court) and had apparently slit Enkanna Kadraka’s throat with a sharp weapon after tying his hands behind his back. A letter signed by The CPI (ML) Srikakulam Jhanjabati organizing committee secretary, Sittru was recovered from the spot. According to the letter, Enkanna Kadraka was punished at Praja court because he was informing the police on the movement of Maoists in the area; the letter revealed any person working as a police informer will meet a similar fate.


Each time the Maoists kill innocent civilians, they brand the deceased as a police informer. But in real, they kill civilians to settle scores, the police officials said.

Wife of the diseased lodged a complaint at Bandhugaon police station.
