The CPI (Maoist) has denied reports that Maoist leaders Malla Raji Reddy (Sangram) and Katta Ramchandra Reddy died of ill-health in the Dandakaranya forest.
“Both Raji Reddy and Ramchandra Reddy are safe and fine,” said a statement purportedly issued by the banned outfit’s Dandakaranya north sub-zonal bureau official spokesperson Mangli.
“A misinformation campaign is being carried out by the police about the health of our party leaders as part of a psychological warfare at the behest of the Centre to confuse people and know the whereabouts of our leaders,” Mangli alleged.
