In a series of attacks, Maoists gunned down one person and blew up two government school buildings in Orissa's Malkangiri district early Sunday, the police said.
The body of a person with gunshot mark was found along a road at Amphakonda village, about 40km from Malkangiri, superintendent of Police Anirudh Singh said.
The body of the man, believed to have been killed on the suspicion of being a police informer, was covered with a Maoist banner. A large number of posters with rebel slogans were also found near the site, he said.
Barely 10 km away, heavily armed ultras struck at Tentuliguda village and blew up a primary school building by triggering a landmine explosion, Singh said. There was no casualty in the attack.
In another strike, a large number of rebels stormed a school building at Bejangwada and set off an explosion to blow it up, he said. There was no casualty as students of the residential Sevasram school for tribals were yet to shift to the new building, he said.
Maoists have been blasting school and panchayat buildings in the region as these places are being used for accommodating security forces for anti-Naxal operations, police said.
