Six CPI (Maoist) Militia Members Arrested in Telangana

Six members of the banned CPI (Maoist) party were arrested in Telangana's Mulugu district while attempting to plant explosives. The arrested individuals had been involved with the group for several years and were following orders to target police and civilians. Explosives and revolutionary literature were confiscated.

In a significant crackdown, six militia members affiliated with the banned CPI (Maoist) party were apprehended in Mulugu district, Telangana, as confirmed by police on Wednesday.

The suspects were captured on July 1 amidst a police vehicle inspection at Kothapalli cross-road, fleeing with explosive materials in tow. Their apprehension comes as a significant development in the ongoing efforts to curb Maoist activities in the region.

Upon interrogation, the detainees admitted to their longstanding involvement with the CPI (Maoist) party. They were reportedly on a mission, instructed by Maoist leaders, to plant explosives aimed at both police personnel and civilians, ostensibly to deter their entry into forested zones. Authorities confiscated a trove of materials including gelatin sticks, batteries, detonators, wires, and revolutionary literature.
