Two Cops Found Dead In Chhattisgarh's Sukma: Police

Prima facie, it doesn't seem like Maoists have a hand in the killings, as no Maoist pamphlets were found at the spot, an official said.

Two police officials were found dead in Chhattisgarh's insurgency-hit Sukma district, the police said today. The bodies of assistant constables Dhaniram Kashyap and Punem Hadma, bearing injuries inflicted by sharp-edged weapons, were found lying on a road on the outskirts of Bhejji village around 5 pm on Thursday, a senior police official said. A police team was rushed to the spot soon after being alerted about the killings and sent the bodies for post-mortem, he said. "The jawans were posted at Bhejji police station, from where they had headed to a grocery store on a motorcycle around 3:30 pm on Thursday. They were later found dead with the motorcycle lying next to their bodies," he said.
