Maoists release kidnapped persons
Ranchi: Eight persons, including four senior government officials, were kidnapped and later released by suspected Maoists in Jharkhand on Saturday.
DGP Control Room sources here said four government officials, including an Additional Collector, went to Palahia area in Latehar district to supervise works done under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme when they were kidnapped by suspected naxalites but released hours after. The four were Additional Collector Shravan Sai, Executive Engineer S. Bhengra, Dairy Department officer A. K. Sinha and an assistant engineer.
In a similar incident, a supervisor and three labourers were on Saturday set free in Gumla, a day after they were abducted by naxaltes in neighbouring Simdega district. Gumla Superintendent of Police N. K. Singh said the naxalites set them free near Bansdih village following intensive pressure owing to police raids. -- PTI
