Naxals treated abductees inhumanely

Dantewada, Chhattisgarh, Apr 30 (UNI) Naxalites treated abducted villagers inhumanely and forced them to starve and drink urine on asking for water.

The 35 villagers, who were freed by the ultras yesterday, said the naxals didn't give them enough food and forced them to walk for several kilometres.

Beriganga and Sodibhama said the extremists used to blindfold them during daytime so that they could not know about the place.

The ultras had abducted 50 villagers on April 25. Later, they killed 15 abducted villagers, including three brothers, but released 35 others on the condition that the villagers will not participate in anti-naxal 'Salwa Judum' campaign.
