Deputy Superintendent of Police (Pakridayal sub division) M K Anand said the Naxalites assaulted Bihkara Prasad (35) at Bara Bihsunpur village under Rajepur police station last night before shooting him dead.

The Maoists then left leaving behind leaflets saying those trying to malign the organisation would also face the same consequence that of Bhikhar.
