NAGPUR: Maoists' action team shot dead one of their former comrades,
Madhukar Mattami, while another managed to flee sustaining two bullet injuries near
Gilanguda in
Etapalli taluka of south Gadchiroli on Wednesday.
Ashok Holi, who made a miraculous escape, is now recuperating at
Gadchiroli district hospital.
Mattami was engaged in the rebel movement for few years before surrendering in 2013. Holi had surrendered in 2010.
The two former Maoists, both residents of Etapalli taluka, were rehabilitated at Gadchiroli after they had adopted the surrender scheme.
They had gone to meet their respective families when the Maoists targeted them on the suspicion of the duo having joined the police informer network.
