Sukma, Chhattisgarh, Sept 2 (PTI) — In a tragic turn of events, two villagers were reportedly killed by Naxalites in Chhattisgarh’s Sukma district, as confirmed by the local police on Tuesday.
According to an official statement, the police have received reports of the brutal murder of two individuals at Sirseti village, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Kerlapal police station. Police are currently in the process of verifying these reports and have stated that further legal action is underway in connection with the incident.
