DRG Squad Apprehends 4 CPI (Maoist) Cadres In Dantewada District

Dantewada District, April 5, 2023: Four cadres of the CPI (Maoist) were arrested in Chhattisgarh’s Dantewada district, police said on Wednesday.

Five .38-bore live cartridges, two knives, Maoist literature and other items were seized from their possession.

“The four Maoists were taken into custody by the District Reserve Guard (GRD) during an anti-Maoist operation from a weekly fair in Tumrigunda village under the Barsur police station limits on Tuesday,” said Dantewada Superintendent of Police Siddharth Tiwari.

The captured lower-rung Maoist cadres were active as Local Organization Squad (LOS) and Militia members under the Indravati Area Committee of the CPI (Maoist), the police officer said.

They were allegedly involved in the execution of a former sarpanch of Himameta village and other Maoist-related incidents in the area this year, he added.
