Chhattisgarh: Maoists kill infant in front of his mother

In a shocking incident, Maoists beat a four-month-old boy to death in Bijapur district of Chhattisgarh, reports an English daily. What makes the matter more gruesome is that the incident took place in front of the infant's mother. According to the state police, the baby was hit repeatedly with a rod. 

Chhattisgarh has been grappling with left wing extremism for a very long time. The incident took place in Todka village of Bijapur district.

The infant's father, Tati Aayatu managed to report the news to police after two-three days after the incident. Aayatu along with his wife, daughter and kid were kidnapped by the Maoists. When Aayatu managed to give the Maoists a slip, it enraged them greatly and they took brutal revenge by killing the baby, that too in front of his mother.

 So far no one has been arrested in connection with the matter. However police have launched a massive operation to nab the culprits and hopeful of getting a break soon.
