New Delhi: A day after armed Naxals gunned down Jharkhand Mukti Morcha MP Sunil Mahato in a crowded function, they struck again, making clear their ability to attack at will.

In what seemed like a coordinated attack, armed rebels shot dead an Andhra Pradesh Congress leader on Monday.

District Congress leader and Mandal Parishad Territorial Constitutency (MPTC) Member Prakash was shot dead near Marikal Village of Peddakothpalli Mandal of the district.

Police say Prakash was gunned down when he was inspecting road construction works in the village on Monday morning.

The police have sounded an alert and launched search operations to nab the culprits.
