In the other attack, a group of armed Maoists killed Balaram Naik (35), a marginal farmer at Tentuligumma, suspecting him to be a Police informer at Tentuligumma under Boipariguda block (administrative division) in Koraput District. "The Maoists took Naik with them in the night and on the day after, locals spotted the bullet-riddled body of Naik lying in a pool of blood, about 2 km from the village," a source at Boipariguda said. A letter recovered from the incident site stated that Naik was ‘punished’ as he was working as a Police informer and was passing information to Police regarding the movement of the Maoists in the area. However, Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) of Jeypore Utkal Ranjan Das said, "The victim was neither our informer nor we have ever received any information from him. Most of the time the Maoists kill civilians to settle scores and label them as Police informers to escape the ire of villagers."

Suspected Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres abducted an Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) of Police a little before noon, tied his hands and legs and shot him dead under a tree in Nuapada District on May 8, reports The Times of India. Enquiries revealed that Krupa Ram Majhi, ASI of Dharmabandha Police outpost, on a motorcycle, was escorting a water tanker to a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) camp at Goudha near Sunabeda sanctuary when the incident took place. Just about two km from the camp, the Maoists first blank-fired. As the ASI stopped his two-wheeler they surrounded him. While some took him away to the forest at gun point, others in the group detached the tractor hauling the water tanker, pulled it to the forest and set it ablaze. The Maoists, however, did not harm Constable Debnarayan Sahoo accompanying Majhi. As they vanished into the forest, Sahoo fled from the place and informed local villagers and authorities about the incident. Later the dead body of Majhi was recovered by the Police from a neighbouring forest in the sanctuary. Police suspect that the incident was the handiwork of the Maoists' Mainpur division, headed by one Sujatha, which operates in Nuapada and bordering Districts of Chhattisgarh.
