Dozens of Maoist cadres bid a final farewell to the CPI (Maoist) Central Committee Member Akkiraju Haragopal alias Ramakrishna (RK) at his funeral held in accordance with revolutionary traditions in Pamed-Kondapalli forest area in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur district, bordering Telangana’s Bhadrachalam Agency, on Friday afternoon.
The Maoists released pictures of the mortal remains of RK wrapped in a Red Flag at the funeral held in dense jungles in the presence of several Maoists clad in olive green uniforms with weapons slung over their shoulders somewhere in the dense forests in the Maoists' area of influence.
RK, the 63-year-old top Maoist leader, a senior member of the outlawed CPI (Maoist) apex body, died due to kidney failure in Chhattisgarh’s south Bastar division on Thursday morning.
