The Maoists staged a comeback in North Telangana by killing a Congress activist in the Edulapuram village of Karimnagar district. This is the first killing of a political leader this year in this region.
Since the time the Nallamala and the northern Telangana region was sanitised by the police two years ago, this is the first major strike within the state in which a political activist has been shot dead by a Maoist dalam on prowl.
It has now been confirmed that there are three dalams of the CPI Maoists of the Khammam-Karimnagar-Warangal area committee active in the region.
Eight armed Maoist rebels took B. Sammi Reddy of Edulapuram to the outskirts of the village and and shot him dead. Sammi Reddy was a follower of the former MLA of Peddapalli, Mr G. Mukunda Reddy.
A Special Intelligence Branch official said, “The Naxals had left a note saying Sammi Reddy was involved in illegal land purchases.” He added, “there is significant movement of the Naxals in the Karimnagar district. These dalams are very small and can actually be called action teams. The politicians and police should be careful as the Maoists may target them. The Naxals have taken advantage of the peaceful situation here.”
The officials said the incident took place far away from the Chhattisgarh border. An alert has been issued in all the North Telangana districts following the killing. “We have asked all the police units to be on an alert and intensify the combing operations,” said an official.
However, the Karimnagar superintendent of police, Mr Shivshankar Reddy, refused to comment on the Naxal activity in his
district.
