The anti-naxal squads from Tamil Nadu and Karnataka will soon interrogate the three suspected Maoists — Srimathi, alias Unnimaya, Chandru, and Aneesh Babu, alias Thampi — who were arrested by the Special Operations Group (SOG) of the Kerala Police. The officers from the two States are in touch with the SOG to gather the preliminary investigation details.
Police sources reveal that the two main Maoist functionaries, Srimathi, a native of Karnataka, and Chandru, a native of Tamil Nadu, who were nabbed after a gunfight in Wayanad on Tuesday night are suspected to be the brains behind a series of attacks in south Indian States. The two have been remanded in police custody, but are yet to reveal anything about their activities though the SOG is continuing their interrogation.
Aneesh Babu, a native of Tamil Nadu who was remanded in police custody on Thursday for allegedly working as a messenger for Maoists, has also been evading questions. According to police sources, Aneesh Babu, arrested from Koyilandy on Wednesday night, has contacted the other two many times to exchange various confidential communications and parcels.
