Naxalites beat police ‘informer’ to death
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Hazaribagh, Dec. 26: Naxalites dragged a woman from her home and beat her to death — in the presence of other villagers — late last night.

Thirty-odd rebels carried out the killing in Daldalia village under Charhi outpost, 22km from the district headquarters.

According to eyewitnesses account, the Naxalites acted on the suspicion that Etwaria Devi, 38, was a police informer and believed that she deserved death for her “crimes”.

After being dragged out of her home, the woman was beaten up with sticks, lathis and stones.

Though she cried out for help, fear of meeting a similar fate kept her neighbours from helping her. The only person who came to her rescue was her 13-year-old daughter, and the teenager was also beaten up and then locked up in her home — for trying to save her mother.

After some minutes of severe beating the woman died on the spot.
