The forces were given the target of Kutul that is in the heart of Abujhmarh area and considered the capital of the Maoists,” he added. The IGP also informed that the Police parties were attacked by the Maoists near Kutul. “Our men retaliated the fire and the encounter lasted for about two hours.

The Bastar Police arrested seven people from Andhra Pradesh inside the Chhattisgarh border in Sukma District and claimed that they belonged to Intellectual Wings of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) outfits on December 26, reports Hindustan Times. Police said they seized four motorcycles they were riding, demonetized currency with face value of INR 100,000, mobile phones and CPI-Maoist literature from their possession. All the arrested people were presented before a court after registering an FIR at Konta Police Station of Sukma District. The court sent them to judicial custody. “The accused were found with old currency notes and some important Naxal [Left Wing Extremists (LWEs)]-related documents. They were arrested and booked and were produced in court,” said Indira Kalyan Elesela, Superintendent of Police(SP) of Sukma said. Elesela said those arrested included social activist Durga Prasad (36) of Hyderabad, R. Laxmaiyya (45), Secretary of Adivasi Tudem Dubba, Khammam, journalists B. Prabhakar Rao (52) and Rajendra Prasad (28) from Hyderabad, High Court advocates Ch Prabhakar Rao (48) and B. Ravindra Nath (42) Hyderabad and Mohammad Nazim (27), research scholar Osmania University. One of the arrested people - Ch. Prabhakar said the Police action was unwarranted because they were only civilians. Police claimed that both the journalists used to instigate the people while the advocates had enlarged support to the CPI-Maoists in encounters and the research scholar was propagating CPI-Maoist line of thinking. The seven men were booked under the Chhattisgarh Public Security Act (CSPA). The accused claimed they were rights activists on a fact-finding mission related to encounters and atrocities in Maoist-affected areas of Telangana and Chhattisgarh. Civil rights activists have slammed the Police for the arrest. “They left Hyderabad on December 24 and were detained on December 25 in Telangana. Later, Telangana Police handed over the team members to Chhattisgarh Police. They were human right activists and the citizen of India and the charges framed against them are unconstitutional,” said N Narayandeo, General Secretary of Civil Liberties Committee (CLC), Telangana. He said the committee has called for a massive protest on December 27 in Hyderabad.
