Midnapore(West Bengal): In continuing attacks on CPI-M activists, suspected Maoists on Wednesday shot dead a school employee in Jhargram in West Midnapore district, two days after they killed a school clerk at Silda in the same district.
Srikanta Mondol, an employee of the Sebayatan Girl's High School at Radhanagar village in Jhargram, and his parents who accompanied him were shot at in front of the school gate,
Jhargram's SP Pravin Tripathi said.
All three were taken to the Jhargram Sub-Divisional Hospital. While Srikanta was declared brought dead, his father Felu Mondol and mother were being treated for injuries.
Tripathy said the manner of the killing pointed to a Maoist hand.
Srikanta, a resident of Radhanagar village, was responsible for building up an anti-Maoist resistance movement in the area which has kept the ultras at bay.
After the news of Srikanta's killing reached the village, residents came out in droves and set up a road blockade and broke windscreens of passing vehicles.
Last Monday, the suspected ultras in their calculated move to eliminate CPI-M workers engaged in building a resistance movement killed Ananta Mukherjee, a CPI-M zonal committee member and clerk of the Silda High School.
