Gumla: The outlawed PLFI put up posters and banners in the intervening hours of Tuesday and Wednesday in three areas of Lohardaga town, police said on Wednesday. Written in red, the posters, which surfaced in Powerganj, Railway Siding and Upper Bazar areas, warned the local businessmen of exploiting the poor, the police informers and the security forces of staging fake encounters.
Sub-divisional police officer Jitendra Kumar Singh, who, along with his team took the posters down, said their investigation is underway to nab the culprits.

Recently, the cops released the photographs of PLFI chief Dinesh Gope. On December 21 last year, Gope’s deputy Jitan Gudia was gunned down in a police encounter in Khunti.
