The Hindu reports that suspected cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) abducted five activists of the ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) from Lalgeria village near Jhargram in the West Midnapore District late on November 15. While three persons were released early on November 16, the others remained untraced. The abducted persons, Joydeb Mahato, Bijoy Mahato, Ganesh Mahato, Ajit Mahato and Khudiram Mudi, were tried in a “people’s court” held by the Maoists in the village. According to Joydeb, Bijoy and Ganesh, who were released, a woman squad member of the Maoists was in charge of the kangaroo court, where she accused the five of corruption, Police sources said. Sources said an operation was launched in search of the missing men in the Nuniakundri forest adjoining Lalgeria. “No body has been recovered throughout the day though the released persons claimed that the Maoists had killed the remaining two. Blood patches were found at a spot, however,” a senior Police official told The Hindu.
