The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) set a 48-hour deadline in the evening of September 26 for accepting their demands for releasing the four Policemen they claim to have abducted on September 19, reports Sify.com. "There were a few handwritten leaflets found in Bijapur District's Bhopalpatanam area Sunday [September 26] in which Maoists have stated their demands included scrapping the anti-Maoist drive otherwise they will eliminate the policemen within 48 hours," State Director General of Police (DGP) Vishwa Ranjan told IANS. Maoists had abducted seven Policemen on September 19 from Bhopalpatnam area of Bijapur District close to Andhra Pradesh border and had killed three of them a day later. Officials at the Police headquarters said that an Assistant Sub-Inspector, S. Bhagat, and three Constables are in the Maoists' captivity and the Maoists have probably been shuttling them from one densely forested location to another between Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. "The letter has stated demands for scrapping the anti-Maoist drive Green Hunt, releasing a few people of four villages, stopping alleged police atrocities and starting peace talks," the DGP said. He said those 'villagers' whose release the Maoists had demanded were actually village-level cadres of Maoists arrested on charges of involvement in unlawful activities.
