Nagpur, Nov 17 (UNI) Suspected naxalites hacked one person to death, suspecting him to be a police informer, in a jungle in Gadchiroli district in Vidarbha region of Maharashtra late last night.

A group of about 20 armed men stormed into the house of Wasudeo Hedo (35) in Jabtalai village in Dhanora tehsil of the district, Superintendent of Police Shirish Jain said.
