Seven Maoists involved in a November 2017 blast were arrested on Thursday, Chhattisgarh Police said.
Bastar Inspector General of Police Vivekanand Sinha said that a team led by Bhadrakali police station incharge Rameshwar Deshmukh arrested Nillaya Matti, Matti Kantaiya, Tailam Shankar, Miccha Ganesh and Dubba Sammeya following a tip-off in Poshanpalliya Bamanpur.
