Raipur: A mentally
unstable man carried out a bloodbath in Chhattisgarh's
impoverished tribal-dominated Balrampur district Thursday, axing
to death nine girls and women aged between 2-65 years, police and
eyewitnesses said.
The bodies of four female adults and five minors, were lying in a
pool of blood for hours in the terror-hit Barhatola village under
Samri police station, and the accused, Pandu Nageshia, 35, was
tracked down when Balrampur District Collector C.R. Prasanna and
Superintendent of Police G.S. Darro reached there with a police
contingent.
"Its brutal killings by a man who is reportedly mentally
unstable," Prasanna told IANS over phone from the village which
comes under state's northern region, more than 400 km from Raipur.
"I am too in a state of shock after visiting the village and
watching dead bodies scattered outside a house where the deceased
belonging to two to three families had assembled as their male
family members had gone out on daily work," he said.
Prasanna along with Darro found extremely difficult to console
several poverty-hit tribal people whose innocent relatives were
butchered.
Unfolding details of the shocking incident, Darro, quoting
eye-witnesses, said Nageshia, who was armed with a sharp-edged
weapon "tangia", suddenly went on a killing spree at around 1.30
p.m. and no one had an idea why he killed the nine - identified as
Lalki Bai (60), Kusum Nageshia (4), Manju Nageshia (3), Sitamuni
Bai (25), Priyanka (2), Machki Bai (65), Kalgi Bai (60), Sangeeta
(10) and Sanjeeta (3).
