Narayanpur district Police Superintendent Rahul Bhagat told PTI that Gadvaram, Mainuram, Som Singh and Bachhuram Dhruv, involved in the CRPF camp attack and also in the killing of three villagers were arrested from the Edka jungles.
Acting on a tip off that the Maoists would be coming to the Edka jungles, police laid out a dragnet and nabbed them. They also seized explosives and literature related to CPI (Maoists) from them, Mr. Bhagat said.
