The rebels raided Bailiguma village in the Chitrakonda police station area, about 700 km from state capital Bhubaneswar, and dragged 35-year-old Laxmi Khara and 45-year-old Sathirao Santala from their homes.

After killing Khara and Santala, the rebels fled to the nearby forest, district Superintendent of Police Akhileswar Singh told IANS.
