Superintendent of Police (SP) Sangram Singh G Patil, said that on receiving reliable information that two youngsters from Mulugu district were being influenced to join the Maoist party, a police team led by Mulugu Sub-Inspector B Omkar Yadav raided the houses of suspects and apprehended Balugu Ganesh of Mallampally village and Pulyala Naveen of Jakaram village.
"During the interrogation, they confessed that they were motivated by surrendered Naxalite Botla Ashok of Jakaram to join the party by handing over some literature related to the Maoists and sharing Maoist revolutionary songs on WhatsApp. The duo was also added on various WhatsApp groups supporting the Maoist ideology," the SP said, adding that the police had also seized cell phones and some Maoist literature from the duo.
