Maoists kill two villagers in Jharkhand
June 20th, 2010 - 3:14 pm ICT by IANSRanchi, June 20 (IANS) Suspecting them to be police informers, Maoists gunned down two men in separate incidents in East Singhbhum district of Jharkhand, police said Sunday.
Members of the banned Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) first raided Jiyan village late Saturday night and fired at Bosko Singh and Hopan Mardi. While Singh died, Mardi was severely injured.

Pamphlets left by the rebels described the victims as police informers and warned villagers against helping the police.
