Saroj Gope, the nephew-cum-manager of contractor Inder Gope engaged in construction of Aango-Bedam-Murki Road of Churchu block, who was abducted by ultras on late Saturday, has reached to his native place Aurangabad in Bihar. As per sources, the Naxals released him last evening with some message for the contractor.
As per sources, the group of Maoists-led by Karu Yadav had abducted him as per the order of their commander Mithilesh Singh. The Naxals entered into Bokaro district after this incident and perhaps they released Saroj in Gomia block of Bokaro district. Though contractor Inder Gope has yet not accepted that the Naxals have demanded levy but it is in talks here that he had ignored the warning of the ultras for not starting work without their permission.
It is in talks that now the Naxals have demanded a heavy amount as levy. SP Akhilesh Jha confirmed that abducted Saroj has reached his home. He said that massive combing operation is going on and he is himself leading the operation. Jha said that they will not allow any group of criminals or others to create panic in the area and to stop the developmental works.
