An assistance constable was abducted by Maoists in the insurgency-hit Sukma district of South Chhattisgarh on Monday.

Maoists stopped vehicles running on Jagargunda-Donrapal road near Polampalli village on Monday evening and started searching them.

Assistant constable Madkam Ganga, dressed in civilian clothes, was travelling in one of the vehicles. Sources said the Maoists tied his hands and took him along as they proceeded towards Arlampalli village of south Sukma.

Sukma district police officers confirmed the news, but they refused to divulge details. According to some police sources, around 40 “armed Maoists” were present at the abduction spot when Mr. Madkam Ganga was taken in to custody.
