The incident took place near Kushbon forest region under Binpur police station areas. A group of locals first spotted three blood-stained bodies lying on the ground.

According to police, Jairam, Manoranjan and Laxmi Das were killed by the Maoist guerrillas as they were active members of the Gano Pratirodh Committee (people's resistance group) formed to combat growing Maoist violence in the district.

Maoist rebels have already owned responsibility for the killings. A few Maoist literature and posters were recovered from the spot.
