Hello
The Thamarassery police and the Thunderbolts special force have launched a search in the area and the nearby forests for the extremists after the local people alerted them.
In Kozhikode, K Sunil, the president of Chakkittapara panchayat, a hilly area bordering Wayanad, has been under the protection of Thunderbolts, the elite, anti-Maoist commando division of the Kerala police.
The banned outfit had called for a 24-hour bandh in Jharkhand and Bihar to protest the arrest of its top leader Prashant Bose alias Kishan Da, who was carrying a bounty of Rs 1 crore on his head.
The activist lawyer was accused of hatching conspiracy to overthrow the Union government.
In the plea filed on November 23, Anand Teltumbde had said that he came to know that his brother Milind Teltumbde was killed on November 13 in Gadchiroli.
After the arrest of central committee member B.G.Krishnamoorthy, Kabani Dalam Area Commander Savithri and coordinator Goutham, there was no proper leadership for Maoist Western Ghat Special Regional Committee to carry forward the party work.
Top police officials said with Taltumbade's elimination, the Maoist power in central India has been shaken to the core and the security forces will continue their cleansing operation with renewed vigour.
CPM's Kozhikode district secretary, P Mohanan, has claimed that the party did not make a mistake in connection with the Pantheerankavu Maoist case from 2019.
CPI (Maoist) Central Committee Member and Western Ghats Special Zone Committee Secretary Krishnamoorty and Kabanidalam Cadre Savitri were captured by the ATS.
He was apprehended during a raid, based on a tip-off, police said.
