Seven Maoists including three teenage boys have been arrested on charges of killing 10 District Reserve Guards and their driver last month in Dantewada in Chhattisgarh, police said on Sunday.

Budhra Madvi, Jitendra Muchaki, Hidma Madkam and Hidma Madvi have been taken into custody, Dantewada Additional Superintendent of Police R.K. Burman told The Pioneer.

The first three were nabbed on Friday while the last person was held on Sunday, he said.

The four were militia members of the Malanger Area Committee under the Darbha Division of the outlawed Maoist outfit.

Also, three teenage boys aged between 15 and 17 years have also been detained for their involvement in the incident. They were active as Bal Sangham members.

A court sent the four men to jail while the teens were sent to a juvenile home.

Eleven persons, including 10 security personnel and a civilian driver, were killed in an IED blast carried out by Maoists last month at Pedka Chowk near Aranpur in the district.
