A group of armed Maoists late on Tuesday night raided the house of a Special Police Officer (SPO) in Ambilabeda village under Chitrokonda police station and threatened him to quit the job as soon as possible.
According to SPO Mana Rasapada, around 20-25 armed Maoists raided his house late on Tuesday night and attacked him and his family members.
