Latehar, Jharkhand:
Nineteen-year-old Anju Kumari was shot in the stomach by Naxals. The reason - she filed a police case against their leader Pappu Lohra alleging rape and assault.
Latehar in Jharkhand is a district ravaged by Naxal violence for years.
Their reign of terror is evident in Anju's case. Before the police could make a headway, the Naxals had extracted their revenge.
''The girl is in a serious condition. We have referred her to a better hospital in Ranchi,'' said Dr Hareshan Mahto, Deputy Superintendent, District Hospital, Latehar.
March 2, Munger: A cop and were civilian beheaded because the police busted a Naxal camp.
February 18, Jamui: Eleven villagers killed because Naxals though they were police informers.
March 4, Latehar: And now they have shot Anju.
From Latehar, the Naxal offer of peace talks and the 72-day ceasefire seems just a paper offer, far from the ground reality of these villages living in the shadow of everyday violence.
