The trooper of Sukma District Police who was abducted by Maoists from insurgency-hit Sukma district on July 4 had been released by the insurgents, police said on Sunday.
Assistant constable Ganga Madkam was abducted while he was on the way to Dornapal from Polampalli on his motorcycle under restive Polampalli police station area on July 4 this year.
“Ganga Madkam has been released and it is still not clear that why had the ultras abducted Madkam. However, he is safe,” Superintendent of Police (SP) Sukma Indira Kalyan Elesela said. Soon after the incident, police teams were sent into the jungle for rescuing the jawan and also for negotiating with ultras through various channels for securing his release, he added.
He was freed by rebels in the forests near Polampalli from where he reached Polampalli police station safely on foot, the SP added.
