While carrying out the combing operation in the remote jungle of Basaguda, about 450 km from here, when the security forces reached Putkel village, they rounded up the three suspects who, during interrogation, admitted to their involvement with the outlawed Naxal movement, he said.

Those arrested were identified as Balram (31), Venkteshwar Pujari (26) and Erragolla Laxmaiyya (32), all natives of Putkel village, he said.

They were involved in Naxal-related incidents, including riots, loot and cases under the Arms Act, the ASP added.
