Raipur: Rakeshwar Singh Manhas, a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) COBRA jawan who was kidnapped during a deadly encounter in Chhattisgarhâ Bijapur on April 3, was released after five days of Maoist captivity, said the Bastar police officials on Thursday.
The release was secured with the help of an 11-member committee of mediators, including social workers and local journalists; there were two arbiters from the Maoist side.
Before being handed over to the interlocutors, Manhas was presented in the Jan Adalat (Kangaroo Court) thronged by scores of villagers and surrounded by 50 armed naxals.
