Villagers launch campaign against extremists; PLFI denies links to lynched individuals
New Indian ExpressRANCHI: Alarmed by a campaign launched by villagers in Chaibasa against extremists, the People’s Liberation Front of India has attempted to distance itself from those lynched by locals, who suspected them to be extremists. In a letter addressed to the villagers, PLFI in-charge Martin Ji claimed there is no member of the organisation by the name of Meta Tiger, asserting that the individuals targeted may have been members of a local gang of thieves trying to tarnish the PLFI’s reputation. “Want to give a message to the common people of Gudri that no any person named Meta Tiger has ever joined the organisation in that area. Local sources reported that the campaign, coinciding with the traditional hunting festival known as Sendra, resulted in the deaths of PLFI group leaders Meta Tiger and Gomia, who succumbed to injuries inflicted by arrows.
