Chhattisgarh: Bastar man killed in Maoist ‘jan adalat’ for celebrating Independence Day, singing national anthem with villagers

In Bastar, a young villager, Manesh Nureti, was killed by Maoists for allegedly hoisting the national flag on their memorial and singing the national anthem with villagers and students. This act of defiance, celebrating Independence Day in a traditionally Red zone, angered Maoists who held a 'jan adalat' and sentenced Nureti to death in front of villagers.
