Three CPI(M) supporters were abducted by tribal agitators from Goaltore area in restive West Midnapore district on Thursday morning, the police said.

The three were local committee members of the CPI(M) and were abducted in retaliation to the kidnap of a PCPA supporter allegedly by Marxists yesterday, they said. Last night, another local committee member Dilip Mahato (40) was kidnapped from his home at Manidaha village in the area and shot dead by Maoists. His home was also set ablaze, they said.
