Purulia (WB), January 2:: Suspected Maoists shot dead a local CPI-M leader at Besra village in Purulia district, police said.

A gang of 10 suspected Maoists raided the house of 45-year-old Palan Kumar and called him out late on Tuesday night.

As Kumar stepped out, the assailants pounced on him and tied him to a tree before pumping bullets into his body, police said.

The suspected Maoists then fled towards Jharkhand border, they added.

CPI-M sources said that the leader had been on the hit list of the Maoists for sometime.

The party's local unit has called a six-hour bandh in the Balarampur police station area in which the village falls, close to Jharkhand border, police said.
