The Bokaro police have arrested two alleged sympathisers of the CPI (Maoists) including a woman during a combing operation carried out in the area of Turi-jharna under Tilaya panchayat here on Wednesday evening.
The Maoists, identified as Suryamuni Kumari and Hiralal Tuddu, were the members of the hardcore naxali Santosh Daa, Mithlesh Singh and Ajay Mahto squad of the outfit for the last 10 years. They were actively involved in the squad and have even attended several training and naxal incident during the last ten years.
Confirming the arrest of the young Maoists, Bokaro superintendent of police YS Ramesh said the police were on the lookout of these persons for quite some time. "Police were keeping a track of them for the last few months and only after we were sure of their involvement in the outfit's activities, they were arrested" said Y.S. Ramesh.
Police have also recovered many incriminating documents and Maoist literatures from their possession which will help them in carrying out their future operations in the hilly terrain.
“We expect that after the arrest of both Maoists the organization will suffer a lot as we have managed to get some vital information about their plans and movements in the area” said the SP. The SP said raids were being conducted to nab more CPI (Maoists) workers on the basis of information provided by Hira lal Tuddu and his sister-in law Suryamuni Kumari.
