Bankura (WB), Dec 26 (PTI) A CPI (M) leader was shot dead by suspected Maoists at Barikul in Bankura today.Rameshwar Murmu, the local committee Secretary of CPI (M), was forcibly taken away from his residence at Bhulagara in the wee hours by an armed group of 15, who pushed aside his wife and son, saying Murmu deserved to be killed for his "anti-people activities." Shortly later the family heard gunshots and Murmu's body was recovered by security forces from a nearby jungle.Police suspected Maoists, active in the belt, could be behind the attack but the identity of the attackers was still being probed.At least four political activists, three of them from CPI (M) and one from Jharkhand Party (Aditya), were killed and another suffered bullet injury in Maoist attacks in neighbouring West Midnapore district earlier this week
