A Maoist by the name of Damburu Khila has been arrested by Odisha police in connection with the killings of TDP leaders Kidari Sarveswara Rao and Siveri Soma.
The two leaders were murdered in September last year.
Khila is being handed over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), Hyderabad, which is investigating the killing of the two leaders.
In October last year, the Andhra Pradesh police had arrested four people in connection with the murder case of the TDP leaders.
