Kolkata, Jan 3 (IANS) A CPI-M activist was killed by suspected Maoists in strife-torn West Midnapore district of West Bengal, a police official said Sunday.
“Jhontu Patra was called by a group of unidentified miscreants last (Saturday) night and later killed. His body was found this morning near Bamal in the Lalgarh belt,” he said.
