An underground operative was killed by his rivals at Dulalnagar village under Damurhuda upazila of Chuadanga district early yesterday. He was identified as Kalu, 43, a regional leader of outlawed Purbo Banglar Communist Party (PBCP-ML). Locals and family sources said a gang of five stormed into Kalu's house at around 2:30am and picked up him at gunpoint. They took him to a field and slit his throat. Police recovered Kalu's body yesterday morning and sent to the hospital for autopsy. Kalu was one of the most wanted outlaws. Police announced bounty for his arrest in 2005.
