Telegraph reports that two suspected Maoists were shot dead by the Security Forces near Jhargram during a gun battle that injured at least seven villagers caught in the crossfire. The Police identified the slain duo as Santu Mahato, 26, and Kajol Mahato, 22. The People’s Committee against Police Atrocities, meanwhile, said they were its leaders, “killed when the police fired indiscriminately at villagers”. Santu’s body has been retrieved but Kajol’s was lying deeper in the Boira forest. During a patrol along a State Highway that connects Kharagpur with Jhargram, the joint forces learnt that mines had been planted near Boira. Two companies (around 200 personnel) went there with a bomb squad and defused two improvised devices at around 3pm (IST). 15 minutes after the force had picked up two men on suspicion that they may have planted the mines, 500 villagers surrounded them protesting arrests. The Maoists opened fire from an adjoining forest, a Police official said, adding, “The Maoists tried to put the villagers in the line of fire. Shots rang out as we started lobbing tear-gas shells to drive the villagers away.” The encounter on the fringes of Boira forest, 12 kilometres from Jhargram town, started around 3.30pm and continued till 9pm.
