Two naxal militia members, wanted in connection with a string of "destructive and violent activities," were arrested in Khammam district, a senior police officer said today.
"Tellam Dadaiah alias Madhu and Karam Ungaiah were arrested when they were moving in Pedda Bandirevu forest area of Dummagudem mandal under suspicious circumstances," Bhadrachalam ASP N Prakash Reddy told PTI.
The duo were apprehended by a special team attached to Charla and Dummagudem police stations and the personnel of CRPF 141 Battalion when they were returning after conducting combing operations last evening, he said.
