Jamshedpur, Nov 26: It was a squad of the outlawed Naxal outfit PLFI behind the killings of the two young men under the Gudri thana area in West Singhbhum on Sunday.
Significantly, the murder victims identified as Rabi Pan (24) and Dhansa Topno (25) were earlier associated with the PLFI but had developed enmity after parting their way with the outlawed outfit recently.
While Rabi Pan was a resident of Giru village in Gudri, Dhansa Topno was a resident of the Khunti thana area. Mutilated bodies of both the youths were recovered from the Giru village on Sunday morning by the police.
The fact that those killed at Giru village were former PLFI activists was revealed by the West Singhbhum SP Ashutosh Shekhar in a press statement.

Third victim who escaped spilled the beans before police
“A PLFI squad of about five activists executed the brutal killings of the two of its former members pertaining to an enmity developed after the duo had parted ways,” the West Singhbhum SP stated following a probe into the incident.
Ashutosh Shekhar said that the police are trying to find out the reason behind the circumstances that led the two to desert the outlawed organisation.
The senior police officer also pointed out that the police are trying to arrest those involved in the killings.
According to sources in the police, a third victim who was along with Rabi Pan and Dhansa Topno at the time of the attack had somehow managed to escape and had spilled the beans before the police.
According to the sources, those killed had started a business of sand-lifting having deserted the PLFI defying orders of the outlawed outfit’s boss.
