Maoists are not sparing even the school going students to achieve their evil designs. This was proved after a student of class 9th was arrested along with a courier man of the insurgents in Bijapur district who used the girl to sent letters and other items to Maoists in Gangaloor area.
The Superintendent of Police (SP) Bijapur, Prashant Agrawal talking with The Pioneer over phone informed that the arrested ultras have been identified as Manju Avlam (18) and Avlam Aaytu (21) residents of Kaika village. They were arrested on a tip off from the forested village of Kaika about 28 kms from district headquarters Bijapur.
“Police seized letter correspondence from their possession which were meant for commander of Gangloor local Areas Squad (lOS) Dinesh,” said SP. During the interrogation they confessed for working as courier agent for Dinesh and used to bring daily used items, along with letters for him, police said. A sharp edge weapon was also seized from their possession, police claimed.
The SP further informed that Manju had appeared in the examination of class 9th in Government school at Jangla village. During interrogation Avalam Aytu told police that school students are good for this kind of work as they generally do not come under the scanner of security forces.
Police have booked the duo under Chhattisgarh Special Public Security Act 2005 and were presented in a local court that sent them to jail on judicial remand.
