Since then, they were helping Dalam members by providing them with provisions and food besides offering shelter. After that they became militia members and were working for Venkatapuram-Wazeedu area committee secretary Sudhakar. Meanwhile, they also got acquainted with the main leaders of CPI Maoist party, Dalam members and militia members. One week ago, as per the instructions of Sudhakar, they went to the forest area of Utlapally village of Chhattisgarh state and got posters/pamphlets related to PLGA week celebrations,” he said, adding that they had tried to drop or paste the posters in the Alubaka area secretly.
