According to media reports, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu is expected to take a decision today, April 7, on setting free seven jailed left-wing extremists—Naxalites—of the PWG to ensure the release of four police personnel abducted by the PWG in Prakasam district on April 2. In this connection, the Government is reportedly examining the procedure adopted by Karnataka for releasing life convicts to secure the safe release of hostages held by forest brigand Veerappan on different occasions. Home Minister T Devender Goud, while speaking to the media in Vijayawada, on April 6 appealed to the PWG to release the four abducted police personnel on humanitarian grounds. He said, "We will discuss the matter with the Chief Minister before taking a final decision on the issue". Separately, the Warangal and Adilabad District Police Officers’ Associations on April 6 urged the PWG to immediately release the abducted police personnel. The Warangal association in a resolution asked the PWG to consider the plight of the families of the abducted police constables and release them on humanitarian grounds.

Speaking to media persons at Markapur, Prakasam district, State police chief P Ramulu said the Government is making an all out effort to secure the release of the three police personnel abducted by left-wing extremists—Naxalites—of the People’s War Group (PWG) on April 2. He said a high-power committee headed by Chief Minister N Chadrababu Naidu is examining the PWG’s demands, and a positive response is likely to come. He also appealed to the Naxalites not to harm their captives, but release them safely. Meanwhile, the Human Rights Forum (HRF) on April 10, appealed to the PWG to unconditionally release the three abducted police personnel unharmed, as it was not proper to achieve their demands by holding the lives of their captors to ransom. In a statement, forum convenor S Jeevan Kumar and State committee member K Balagopal asked if the Government would have remained indifferent had the Naxalites abducted the kin of a Minister or a senior police official. Earlier, in an effort to make a strong appeal to the PWG, approximately 260 persons comprising sympathizers, relatives and family members of the hostages set out to the Nallamala forest. Two truckloads of people set out from Markapur to the forests and were joined by 70 more at Dornala and another 30 at Yerragondapalem. They held a rally at Dornala and meetings at villages on the route to Chilakacharla Chenchugudem tribal hamlet, 23km from Dornala. They urged the Naxalites not to harm the hostages, who were never involved in any anti-extremist operation.
