Former Maoist Central Committee member Malla Raji Reddy, who recently surrendered to the police, clarified that he has no intention of contesting elections or forming a political party. He visited his native village Sastrulapalli after 46 years, marking his first return since his surrender.
Andhra Pradesh Police told the High Court that top Maoist leaders Devuji and Malla Raji Reddy are not in their custody, refuting claims made in a habeas corpus petition. The court asked the petitioner to provide evidence and adjourned the matter to Friday
