Rourkela (Orissa), April 26: A village head was shot
dead and his body burnt by Maoists at Kamarpada village

suspicion of being a police informer on Friday before setting
his body on fire.
Nayak had been warned by the ultras earlier not to give
information about them to police.

reached the spot and retrieved the half-burnt body and sent it
for autopsy, officer in-charge of K Bolang police station
