The incident took place on Friday (October 24, 2025) night in Nelakanker village, under the Usur police station limits, an official said.
A group of Maoists dragged the victims, Ravi Kattam (25) and Tirupati Sodhi (38), out of their homes and attacked them with sharp-edged weapons, killing them on the spot, he said.
The cadres fled the scene after the attack, the official said, adding that the police were subsequently alerted. Maoists have been targeting villagers in the Bastar division, comprising seven districts, including Bijapur.
