'Hidma was trapped': Maoists say contractors acted as informers; committee rejects encounter claim

Maoists claim top leader Madvi Hidma was trapped and killed by police informers, including contractors, after seeking medical treatment. The outfit alleges a staged encounter and demands a judicial inquiry into Hidma's and Shankar's deaths, dismissing claims by former MLA Manish Kunjam and activist Soni Sori as baseless.
