The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres killed a civilian, identified as Gemmeli Krishna Rao, after branding him as a ‘Police informer’, in Nurmati Panchayat (village level local self-Government institution) of Gangaraju Madugula Mandal (administrative sub-division) in Visakhapatnam District of Andhra Pradesh on December 14, reports The New Indian Express. Two Maoists stormed into his house in the early morning and took away Rao forcibly and later killed him. The Maoists left a letter near his body stating, “After a police outpost was set up at Nurmati, Krishna Rao was actively associated with the police. Following Ramguda EoF (exchange of fire), a Jamporlu villager informed us that Krishna Rao provided shelter for the police personnel. He was warned several times but since he did not change his attitude, the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA), the armed wing of the CPI-Maoist, killed him.”
