Three shot dead by Maoists in Gumla district of Jharkhand

Gumla: Three persons were shot dead on Wednesday and another was seriously wounded by armed Maoist rebels at Kotam village in Jharkhand’s Gumla district.

Two brothers, identified as Nijamul Ansari (16) and Ajmul Ansari (25), were among the dead, according to Superintendent of Police Baljit.

The third victim was Mahesh Mahto, he said and added that one Karampal Munda was injured.

Munda had been to a shop, owned by the Ansaris, to purchase rice when six Maoists came and opened fire.

Police suspect extortion could be the motive behind the shooting.

In another incident, suspected Maoist rebels snatched Rs.5.5 crore in cash and gold of a bank during transport at Tamur, also in Jharkhand. — PTI
