He said it was the first time bandits attacked the village even though other neighbouring communities had suffered attacks many times in recent past.
“We didn’t know they will be attacking our community soon. Though they had attacked some communities in this area many times. Our men came out in large number to repel the attack on the community but they killed our village head and three others and ran away,” the source said.
