India Jul 02, 2025

In Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district, 38-year-old Kawasi Hunga was killed by Maoists who suspected him of passing information to the police.
Five armed men took him from his home at night and attacked him with sharp weapons.
His body was found the next morning.

23 civilians killed by Maoists this year

Police quickly arrived, sent Hunga's body for post-mortem, and launched a search for those responsible.
This killing is part of a troubling pattern—23 civilians have already lost their lives to Maoist violence in Bastar this year alone, highlighting the ongoing risks faced by people living in these areas.
