A Samajwadi Party (SP) leader was abducted and killed by Maoists in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur district, police said on Wednesday.
Santosh Punem, who was also a contractor, was abducted by ultras late on Tuesday evening from his construction site at Marimalla village where he had gone to supervise some road-related work, news agency PTI quoted police as saying.
Some locals spotted Punem’s body lying in a pool of blood at the nearby Marimalla hills on Wednesday morning and informed police.
A team of security personnel rushed to the spot located deep inside a forest. The team was yet to return with the body, police said.
Punem had contested last year’s Chhattisgarh Assembly polls from Bijapur on an SP ticket.
