Two Maoists were arrested from Chhattisgarh's Narayanpur district on Thursday, the state police said.
"Upon receiving a tip-off about suspicious persons, a police team of Benoor police station surrounded Baghjhar village of the district and nabbed the two Maoists," Narayanpur Police Superintendent Santosh Singh told IANS.
During interrogation, Somaru Gawde alias Soma Peeta Dasu Gawde, 35, and Sonaru Gawde alias Vaddu, 26, confessed to planting roadside bombs near Cheribeda area in 2016. Several weapons were also found near Sonaru's house.
The two used to convene Maoists' meetings, made food arrangements for Maoists and even informed them of police movements, Singh said.
