Staff Reporter
THENI: The five suspected Maoists arrested from Varushanadu hill belonged to a seven-member gang that escaped from Murugan Malai near Periakulam in June, according to S.S. Krishnamurthy, Deputy Inspector General of Police (Dindigul Range).
Talking to reporters here on Friday after displaying arms and ammunition seized from the suspected Maoists, he said that two walkie-talkies, three rifles, two revolvers, bullets, gun powder, hand grenades, vessels, clothes, bags, food items and pamphlets were seized from them.
A special police team had arrested three Tamil extremists from Murugan Malai and seized arms and ammunition from them a few months ago. Seven persons had managed to escape.
