The man"s wife had on Tuesday appealed to the Maoists to release him unharmed if he was in their "captivity" after suspecting some foul play since her husband who went to Chhattisgarh on Monday had not returned home. "He was killed by Maoists in Chhattisgarh limits on suspicion of being a police informer," a senior police official told PTI over phone, adding they were in the process of getting back his body and were coordinating with the Chhattisgarh police. In a letter purportedly written by Maoists, being circulated in the social media, Ramesh was accused of being a police informer and also pretending to be a Maoist sympathiser.
