Chatra (Jharkhand), Apr 7 :Suspecting the role of Naxalite outfit Tritiya Prastuti Committee''s (TPC) behind the killing of a Reliance Power General Manager Manoj Kumar Ojha, security forces continued their raids today on areas near Chatra''s borders with Hazaribagh and Palamau, the police said.
"We suspect that TPC activists were behind the attack. Security personnel are continuing raids in the border areas of Chatra, Hazaribagh and Palamau districts," Chatra Superintendent of Police, Prabhat Kumar, told PTI.
The attack at Sahatu village in Chatra district yesterday in which Ojha was killed while his colleague and another general manager Dhirendra Kumar was injured could be the handiwork of the TPC, a breakaway group of the CPI (Maoist), IGP (Operation) R K Malik had said yesterday.
The driver of the vehicle was also injured.
The body of Ojha was sent to his residence in his native town Ranchi late last night.
Chatra Deputy Commissioner Manoj Kumar said the Reliance Power team, which had come from Mumbai on an official visit, did not intimate the administration about their visit to the district.
A police officer, requesting anonymity, said, "They should have asked for security. Splinter groups like TPC and Jharkhand Prastuti Committee (JPC) are active in the area."
The killing could have been a case of mistaken identity in the wake of rivalry between TPC and JPC, the IGP had said.
