The Ramagundam police claimed to have thwarted an attempt by the banned CPI (Maoist) outfit to restore its hold in Telangana’s coal belt by arresting a member of the outlawed organisation in Telangana’s coal town of Godavarikhani late on Thursday night.
The arrested accused was identified as P Avinash (29), a native of Satuluru village in Andhra Pradesh’s Palnadu district.
He was apprehended by a night patrol police team while he was moving suspiciously at the RG-I Area General Manager’s Office in Godavarikhani around Thursday midnight.
