Berhampur ( Orissa ) : The armed militants of the outlawed CPI(Maoists) on Wednesday gun down 45 year old Mandia Sahu Loknath, a trade by profession in State’s troubled Koraput district, police said.

The trader was sitting outside his residence at Nimlabadi area of the district when two ultras shot at him from close range, sources said.

Though the exact reason behind the killing was yet to be ascertained, the trader was believed to have been targeted as he had opposed activities of Maoist-backed Chasi Mulia Adivasi Sangh (CMAS) in several areas of the district, sources said.

A combing operation has been launched to nab the rebels and patrolling intensified by the security forces in the area, police said.
