Nearly 180 tribals, including women and children, have left their village in Chhattisgarh’s Kanker district following Maoist threats to “eliminate them” if they “cooperate with police”, official reports reaching here on Saturday said.
According to the police, a group of armed Maoists surfaced in Mahala village Thursday midnight and dragged all the villagers out of their houses. The rebels then threatened to kill each of them if they helped the police.
