Bullet-riddled bodies of three youths Lakhi Das, Jayram Mandi and Manoranjan, with hands and legs tied were found on a road in Kusbani jungle about 70 km from here, the police said.

The Maoists left behind posters claiming the three were police spies and CPI(M) agents and had been punished.

In Kolkata, Home Secretary Ardhendu Sen said the three victims were Jharkhand Party activists.

Shortly after the Chief Minister arrived for a review of the law and order and welfare measures in West Midnapore district where tribals-backed Maoist unrest has been continuing despite anti-Maoist operations by central paramilitary and state police, local CPI(M) leader Subhas Soren, was shot at, at Nandasole, about 75 km from here.
