Seven Maoists were on Wednesday arrested in Chhattisgarh’s extreme insurgency infested Sukma district of Bastar, police said.
A joint team of Special Task Force (STF), District Reserve Guard (DRG), Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and CoBRA (CRPF's elite unit) nabbed the rebels under the jurisdiction of Bhejji police station, according to Deputy Inspector General of Police (south Bastar range) Sundarraj P.
The arrested Naxals were identified as Kunjam Joga (30), Muchaki Hadma (20), Madvi Deva (25), Muchaki Payka (27), Kuhrami Sukka (21), Madkam Kosa (45) and Madkam Hunga (41), he said.
They were active as members of the Dandakaranya Adivasi Kisan Majdoor Sangthan (DAKMS), a front organisation of the Maoists, he said.
The Maoists were involved in an attack on a police team in Gacchanpalli forest in July last year, the DIG said.
