While three cadres belonging to Dandakaranya Adivasi Kisan Majdoor Sangh (DAKMS), a frontal outfit of the outlawed CPI (Maoist), were apprehended from Dantewada district, two others were nabbed from Sukma district, a senior police official told PTI.
A team of District Reserve Group (DRG) and local police caught Katia Bhogami (30), Bhuvneshwar Bhogami (27) and Arjun Oyami (28) from Faraspal police station limits.
The trio were involved in the murder of a village head Motiram Bhogami in January in Midkulnar area.
