AURANGABAD: Five people, including two hardcore Maoists, were arrested in a special operation conducted by the central paramilitary forces and the local police in Aurangabad district.
Aurangabad SP Kantesh Kumar Mishra on Friday said the arrested Maoists – Santosh Bhuyan and Sahib Bhuyan – were wanted in connection with the attacks on a CRPF camp and police station at Madanpur. They had also set the Madanpur block office on fire.
