On Monday night, a BJP worker along with his wife and son were murdered by unidentified armed assailants. The BJP worker, identified as Mago Munda, was an executive member of State BJP's ST Front as well as a part of many religious organisations.

Munda was a well-known face in the area for social work. His daughter is the head of a village council in the region. The details of the incident are yet to be ascertained but suspicions point towards the Naxalite organisation PLFI.
