The victim had been abducted from Mardmelinga village before he was eliminated.Police claimed that Kursami had no role in their information network. He was a farmer, claimed police. The cops feel that Naxals have started targeting local tribals after a successful pro-development meeting at Nelgunda. In another incident, police recovered explosives from five places on Jambia-Hedri Road in Etapalli taluka on Wednesday. The explosives were apparently planted to target search and patrolling parties of police posts and operation squads. A claymore mine, two bundles of wires and battery cells were among the materials seized.
