    What's the story

    Fifteen Naxals, two of them carrying cash rewards, were arrested from two places in Chhattisgarh's Maoist hotbed Sukma district, police said on Thursday.

    The arrests were significant as they came almost eight days after nine personnel of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) were killed in an IED blast when suspected Maoists blew up their mine-protected vehicle in Sukma, a senior police official said.

    The arrested Naxals

    Arrested Naxals were not involved in the attack on CRPF

    Police said that the arrested Naxals were not involved in the last week's attack on the CRPF, but were involved in the attack on the police team in which two personnel were killed in February

    During a search operation, the ultras, including two women, were arrested from a forest in Bhejji area and another cadre was caught from the district's Pushpal area yesterday.
