Lalu Dhurve, in his late 20s, was killed on Friday night in Jagla village under Pathri police post and the Naxalites allegedly responsible for the act left pamphlets at the spot, the police official said.

Conforming the incident, Superintendent of Police Sameer Saurabh said the contents of the pamphlets were being investigated and police presence in the region had been increased.

"A group of 15-20 Naxalites allegedly kidnapped Dhurve from his home at around 9pm on Friday and then killed him. The pamphlets left behind at the spot claim Dhurve was a police informer.
