Raipur: Four Naxals were arrested from
two places in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada district, police said
today.
"Out of the four, three ultras were apprehended from
Bhansi police station area, while another from Aranpur police
station limits yesterday," a local police official told PTI.
A joint team of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF)
and district force was out on the combing operation in the
interiors of Bhansi, located around 400 kms away from here, he
said.
The patrolling team, while cordoning off a forest near
Kamaloor village, spotted three Naxals. Subsequently, the team
arrested the rebels -- Suresh Bhaskar (25), Manglu Bhaskar
(21) and Jaggu Bhaskar (55) -- all active as janmilitia
members, he said.
The three were allegedly involved in torching trucks
and a railway-track laying machine last month near Kamaloor
railway station where track-laying work was underway on the
Kirandul-Visakhapatnam route, the officer said.
Besides, they were also allegedly involved in other
incidents of dismantling railway tracks in the region, he
added.
In a separate operation, a janmilitia member,
identified as Barse Bheema (21), was arrested from Rewali
village of Aranpur, the official said.
One tiffin bomb, 30-meter long electricity wire,
batteries and crackers were also recovered from his
possession, he said.
All the arrested cadres were mainly tasked with
arranging meetings and food for the Naxals, gathering
information for them, damaging roads and spreading their
propaganda, the official said, adding a probe was on.
