Orissa Police on April 21 claimed to have arrested a Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) ‘commander’, identified as Udaya alias P. Rama Rao, along with his three associates after a raid on their hideout in the Gudari forest of Rayagada District, reports Telegraph. "Udaya is the third in the rank in the Vansadhra division and a link between (the Maoists’) Andhra committee and the Orissa unit," District Superintendent of Police Ashish Kumar Singh said. Two of the associates arrested, Surendra and Jadu, are "hardcore cadre", Singh said, adding Padmana is an area committee member who provided logistics support to Udaya and others. Udaya was one of the masterminds behind the murder of Swami Laxmananda Saraswati, a Hindu right-wing leader, and four of his associates in Kandhamal on August 23, 2008, Singh said. Since being sent to Orissa in 2001 to expand the Maoist network, Udaya was involved in over 20 cases of murder, rioting and looting of Government armouries in the Udaygiri and Nayagarh Districts, Singh added. Some of the weapons seized from Udaya and others bore marks of the Nayagarh District armoury. Udaya, who has been with the CPI-Maoist for 18 years, originally belonged to the insurgents’ Srikakulam division in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. The Maoists refer to Kandhamal, Rayagada and Gajapati as the Vansadhra Division.
