Jamshedpur, September 01, 2023 (PPI-OT): A missing Indian Paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) was found dead in Jharkhand state in India.

The CRPF 197 battalion man, identified as Badal Murmu, was missing from duty from Chaibasa camp since January 6 in the state.

The department declared the missing CRPF man as a fugitive and filed a missing case in the Muffasil police station, shrugging off the responsibility of finding him to the police.

But the police system has not been able to trace Badal Murmu till now. In this regard, Communist Party of India-Maoist spokesperson Azad has issued a statement in which he has said that CRPF man has probably been killed. In order not to accept the truth and hide it, the Indian police department has declared him a fugitive.

The CPI-Maoist spokesperson has appealed to the CRPF and police personnel to think seriously about the reality and truth of the operations against Naxal tribal people who want justice with freedom and take appropriate decisions. This war, he said, being waged against the tribal-indigenous people, is illegal.

Setting up army and police camps in every village without the permission of the locals or Gram Sabha, firing live ammunition day and night without informing the tribal people living in the forest, arresting the innocent tribal people on Maoist charges, beating them mercilessly and putting them in jail is state terrorism, he added

Meanwhile, the body of a Chhattisgarh police constable was found in Jangala Gangalur Police Station limits, in the highly volatile naxal-affected district of Bijapur.

The deceased constable came to his village Jangla to celebrate Rakshabandhan and was allegedly killed by the armed members of Communist Party of India -Maoists.
