This is some coincidence. Naxals have killed a senior Chattisgarh Congress leader and injured another (VC Shukla). And two others have been abducted also.

Will /u/ranjan_zehereela or someone throw some light on what the fuck is happening in the state at the moment?

This seems like a comprehensive report. http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/congress-leader-killed-in-chhattisgarh-maoist-attack/article4750467.ece?homepage=true

The murdered leader is Mahendra Korma, founder of the Salwa Judum, the fearsome extra-legal Naxalite-killing police.
