On Friday, in the early hours of the morning, a former Sarpanch in Bhakku Tola village, located under Lanji police station, was shot dead by Maoists. The Sarpanch was identified as Shankerlal Pandre. Additional Superintendent of Police, Vijay Dabar, confirmed the incident.
Sources claim that the crime was executed near a school in the village, which was done in order to make a statement to the administration 15 days before the election. It is believed that this was done to demonstrate the Maoists' power and serve as a warning to those who might consider working with the police.
Kasanbai Pandre, the wife of Shankarlal, reported that four Maoists, one of whom was a woman, had knocked on the door of her house at 10pm on Thursday. They inquired about her husband's mobile phone, and when they found nothing, they took him out of the house. A few moments later, she heard gunshots.
The Maoists left behind pamphlets that detailed their reasoning for Shankarlal's death, claiming that he was a police informer and that anyone who worked with the police would suffer the same fate. However, Superintendent of Police Sameer Saurabh claims that Shankarlal was not an informer.
Bhopal Crime Branch is currently investigating those responsible for the incident. Meanwhile, they are also looking into a case in Delhi, in which several people are suspected of aborting their children.
