Abducted engineer's wife entered dreaded Chhattisgarh forest after imploring ultras for his safe release

Days after her engineer husband was abducted by Naxals in Chhattisgarh, Sonali Pawar made an emotional appeal for his release but eventually decided to search for him by herself and travelled to the dense Abujhmad forest, the den of ultras, along with her minor daughter, according to sources.

The ultras released the engineer Ashok Pawar and worker Anand Yadav unharmed on February 15 evening but Ms. Pawar is still inside the forest. She is in touch with local journalists and police officials.

“Ashok Pawar and Yadav are currently kept at Kutru in Bijapur,” Additional Superintendent of Police [ASP] Pankaj Shukla said on Feb. 16. He said Ms. Pawar will soon reach Kutru to meet her husband.
