Alleged Maoists stabbed to death a Bharatiya Janata Party office bearer in Narayanpur on Saturday, three days before the scheduled date for the first phase of polling in the Assembly election-bound State.
Ratan Dubey, the poll coordinator for Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as well as vice president of its Narayanpur district unit, became the sixth member of the party to be allegedly murdered by Maoists since the beginning of the year.
According to the police, around 5.30 p.m. on Saturday, Dubey was attacked by suspected members of the Communist Party of India (Maoists) while he was campaigning for the party.
