In a tragic incident that shook the Chatra district of Jharkhand, a tribal man and his son were shot dead by suspected Naxalites on Saturday night. The two victims, Chhedi Birhor and his son Pankaj Birhor, belonged to a particularly vulnerable tribal group. According to officials, the father-son duo was targeted on suspicion of being police informers.
The incident took place at Hindia Kala village, in the Kunda police station area. Superintendent of Police, Vikas Pandey, confirmed that the killings were carried out by members of Tritiya Sammelan Prastuti Committee (TSPC). Pankaj's elder brother, Vidhayak Birhor, who was not present during the attack, informed the police that a large group of 60-70 Naxalites had surrounded their house and forcefully entered through the roof.
Vidhayak revealed that the attackers first beat up his family members and then mercilessly shot them. He also expressed that if he had been present at the time of the attack, he would have met the same fate as his father and brother. The family had recently reported a Naxalite who had demanded a hefty sum of Rs 10,000 from them as extortion. This demand was made after they had received financial aid to build a house under the state's Birsa Awas Yojna.
A police officer stated that the TSPC was infuriated by this incident and may have resorted to this act of violence as an act of revenge. The tragic deaths of Chhedi Birhor and Pankaj Birhor have left the entire community in shock and fear. The police have launched an investigation into the matter and are determined to bring the culprits to justice. The loss of innocent lives in the name of political agendas is a grave concern that needs to be addressed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the grieving family during this difficult time.
