| 2007-12-31 |
| Tension gripped the forest villages in Yellandu and Gundala mandals as a Maoist sympathiser was gunned down reportedly by underground cadres of the CPI (ML New Democracy) in retaliation to the killing of their party leader, Pulusu Venkanna, in Polaram village late on Saturday night. According to reports, armed members of the Madhu dalam of the New Democracy whisked away Banothu Kolia, a tribal youth from his farm around midnight and fired three rounds into his chest killing him in the forest. Kolia was reportedly identified with the Maoist activities in the area and had been at loggerheads with the New Democracy activists for quite some time. The long lull in the tribal habitations was shattered with the two killings. A ninth standard girl, Mukti Soujanya, and another tribal youth Vankudothu Venkanna sustained received bullet injuries in the Maoist attack on Polaram village on Saturday. While Soujanya was battling for life in a private hospital in Khamam, Venkanna was shifted to NIMS as his condition was deteriorating. The New Democracy cadres geared up to defend themselves in their partyÂ’s strongholds as their Polaram village committee secretary, Pulusu Venkanna, was shot dead by the Maoists. A police outpost was put up in the village and additional forces were deployed in the area. |
