RAIPUR: Engineer Ashok Pawar and worker Anand Yadav, who were abducted by Maoists from a bridge construction site in a remote area of Bijapur district last Friday, were released on Tuesday night.
Freedom came a day after Ashok’s wife Sonali Pawar and her two little daughters went into the jungle to meet the Maoists and persuade them to free the duo. They had also issued a video appeal to the Maoists, saying they would all go back to their native place in Madhya Pradesh once Ashok was freed.
