A local BJP leader was shot dead by suspected Maoists in Chhattisgarh's Narayanpur district on Friday evening, police said.
The incident took place around 8 pm when Sagar Sahu, vice president of the Narayanpur district unit of the BJP, was at his home in Chhotedongar village, said an official.
As per the preliminary information, two unidentified persons barged into the leader's house and shot him in front of his family members.
The injured Sahu was taken to the Narayanpur district hospital where he succumbed to his injuries, the official said.
"Prima facie the incident seems to be the handiwork of Maoists but an investigation is underway, he added.
