According to initial information, the victim, Imtiyaz Ali, was executing road construction work at Irpalli village.

On Monday morning, residents alerted police after the body of Imtiyaz Ali was discovered in the Gollapalli area under the Pamed limits.

The killing triggered tension across several interior villages, as locals feared further attacks. Moreover, the incident underscored the continuing Maoist opposition to infrastructure activity in remote pockets.

Authorities indicated that the motive stemmed from the group’s objection to road construction in the region.

Because roads improve access for security forces, Maoists frequently oppose such projects. Consequently, contractors and workers face high risk in areas marked by insurgent mobilisation.

Police teams launched a search operation to track the group responsible. Officials also advised contractors to follow safety protocols when working in conflict-prone zones. Although routine construction continues in many villages, periodic attacks disrupt progress and heighten fear among local residents.
