New Delhi: A CoBRA commando abducted by Naxals after the Bijapur ambush in Chhattisgarh on April 3 was released on Thursday, official sources said.
They said constable Rakeshwar Singh Manhas of the 210th Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) was freed by the Maoists this evening after a team of few eminent people, including a person from the tribal community, was nominated by the state government to secure his release.
An unverified picture shared by security officials showed Manhas wearing his green coloured jungle combat dress and standing with at least four “mediators” with a number of locals sitting in the forested background.
