Tunder (Chhattisgarh):In yet another gruelling incident involving Maoists, a teenager was killed in Tunder
village in Chhattisgarh on Saturday after refusing to go along with them. "Maoists
went to Tunder village and forced the village boys to go with them. They could
take two boys with them but the third one, Manglu, resisted. He did not want to
go with them. In retaliation, the Maoists punished him by shooting at him. They
took the rest of the boys for training," said P Sundar Raj, Police Superintendent
of Bastar. Raj further said that following a spate of incidents being reported
from the area, the police would initiate a campaign urging villagers to stand
up against Maoists efforts to recruit village boys. "We appeal to villagers that
if Maoists forcefully take their boys with them, the villagers must resist this
collectively. We are starting a campaign to create awareness on this," Raj said.
