Hostage crisis: Maoists set 48-hr deadline for abducted cops
NEW DELHI: Maoist rebels, who claim to have abducted four policemen in Chhattisgarh on Monday, have set a 48-hour deadline for the state government to comply with their demands, said Times Now.
The families of the abducted policemen have made appeals to the government for help and also to the Maoists to release their loved ones at the earliest. The wife of one of the kidnapped policemen said, "I request the Maoists to consider me as their sister and hear my pleas. Please release my husband." She went on to add that the police in the area were not doing anything to help
Seven cops had been missing since September 19. An Assistant Sub Inspector, an SPO and three constables were among the seven captured men. They were abducted from Bhopalpatnam near the Chhattisgarh-Andhra border. The bodies of three of them were discovered two days later with Maoist literature.
Until Sunday, there was no word from the rebels on the fate of the remaining four cops.
Meanwhile, sources said that Chief Minister Raman Singh is in contact with various police officers and Andhra Pradesh Governor E.S.L. Narasimhan . Search and rescue operations are on to track down the Naxal hideout and rescue the missing policemen who are suspected to be alive.
