A PDS dealer was shot dead by suspected People's Liberation Front of India activists near Junadih in Simdega district, the police today said.
A resident of Bongera Bazartoli, the dealer Rameshwar Singh was shot dead by Mahesh Singh-led PLFI squad last night, Superintendent of Police, Rajiv Ranjan Singh said.
He said that a group of five ultras carrying firearms told Singh's family members that they had been sent by the police to enquire about the Naxals.
On being told that Rameshwar was away at a weekly market, they immediately left for the place and found Rameshwar there. The ultras then forcibly took him away and shot him dead, the SP said.
The SP further said the ultras had assaulted the dealer about a month ago, but no complaint had been registered in this regard with the police.
