Three Maoists were on Friday arrested during a joint search operation in restive Bijapur district of Bastar, police said.
The cadres - Uika Joga (24), Madkam Somdu (21) and Kujnam Bodda (40) - were apprehended from the forests of Bugdicheru village under Basaguda police station limits, according to Bijapur Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Mohit Garg. A joint team of CoBRA (Commando Battalion for Resolute Action) 204th battalion, Special Task Force (STF) and district force was out on the combing operation in Basaguda, when it received inputs about the movement of these rebels, he said.
The three were allegedly involved in Naxal-related incidents of attempt to murder and rioting, the ASP said.
