Kadaba: Naxal group suspected to have visited Bilinele on Thursday
ANF team begins combing of region
Kadaba: The local police and the Anti Naxal Force (ANF) combed the region for Naxals as rumours were adrift on Saturday that a group of people suspected to be Naxals had dinner and purchased grocery at a store in Cheru of Bilinele village on Thursday.
The group consisting of four to six people allegedly visited a local resident at around 7 pm and, after having dinner at the local's house, completed their purchase of grocery by 9 pm and left for their hideout.
The locals found it suspicious that the group members who paid a visit to Cheru on Thursday were armed and informed the government authorities of the incident. An inspection was conducted in the area by the local police as well as the Anti Naxal Force (ANF). The region surrounding the house that the suspected Naxals reportedly visited on Thursday as well as the nearby forest region was combed by the ANF team as Naxals are also suspected to have returned to their hideout in the forest after visiting Cheru.
