Probe orderd into tribals killed in Barahania

Ten days after the murder of the four guards, five tribals were killed in the forest near Barahania village, 40 km from Chakla. Angry villagers said CRPF personnel, escorting election officials on duty, killed the tribals. The Maoists forced a three-day bandh in Latehar after the incident.

The villagers said the CRPF contingent came to the village and asked five of them to show them the way.
