Security forces on Tuesday arrested two hardcore Maoists from a jungle in the Kudumulugumma area in Malkangiri district during a joint combing operation of BSF jawans and district police.
The nabbed Maoists Khila Ranjit and Mangaraj Hental were involved in various activities including the abduction of former Malkangiri Collector Vinnel Krishna. They were working as the area commanders of the Kudumulugumma Maoist division. Notably, Ranjit carried an award of Rs 4 lakh on his head.
