Mulugu, Telangana: In a concerning development, Telangana police suspect that Maoists were behind the planting of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in Mulugu district, potentially as an act of revenge. The discovery of these explosives has heightened tensions in the region, prompting intensified security measures.
According to senior officials, the IEDs were likely placed in retaliation for recent encounters and ongoing combing operations by the police and security forces in the Maoist-affected areas of the district. These explosive devices were reportedly intended to target security personnel patrolling the area.
The incident has raised alarms about the resurgence of Maoist activities in parts of northern Telangana, particularly in the forested zones bordering Chhattisgarh. Police have initiated a thorough investigation and increased surveillance to ensure the safety of both security forces and civilians in the region.
Authorities are urging the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity, as combing operations continue in full swing across the affected zones.
