Three Naxalites Arrested for BJP Functionary’s Murder in Chhattisgarh

Police have arrested three Naxalites allegedly involved in the murder of a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) functionary in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur district in March this year.

The cadres were apprehended in Chintanpalli village under Toynar police station limits of Bijapur during an area domination operation conducted by a joint team of the District Reserve Guard (DRG) and the Chhattisgarh Armed Force (CAF) – both units of the state police, an official stated.

Arrested Individuals

Police identified those arrested as Munna Mudma (32) – a militia commander, Raju Mudma (31) – a member of the Dandakaranya Adivasi Kisan Mazdoor Sangathan (DAKMS), a front of the Maoists, and Lakhmu Mudma (39) – a militia member. All three hail from Chintanpalli.

“The trio was allegedly involved in the murder of Tirupati Katla, a member of the Janpad Panchayat in Bijapur, in Toynar village on March 1,” the official said.

Murder of the BJP Member

Katla, a functionary of the ruling BJP, was attacked by Naxalites with sharp-edged weapons when he had gone to attend a wedding in Toynar.

The three arrested Naxalites were also allegedly involved in the murder of a sarpanch (village head) of Mormed village in Bijapur district in 2022, he added. Three warrants were pending against Munna Mudma at the Toynar police station, the official noted.
