The North Telangana special zonal committee of CPI (Maoists) has given a call for bandh in Telangana on January 3 expressing apprehensions over the death of Telangana Praja Front president Akula Bhoomaiah in a road accident in the city a few days ago.
The committee, in a press release, raised several doubts about the fatal accident of Bhoomaiah, who was a prominent leader of the Democratic Teachers Federation, which was alleged to have links with extremists organisations, particularly the erstwhile People’s War Group.
Some rights activists have also demanded that the government institute a judicial enquiry into the death as they suspected foul play.
