They asked the family to increase the volume of the television. During this time, some of the members of the Maoist team were keeping a watch on the front and back of the house. The Maoists had asked the family to cook rice and chicken curry.
They had watched a television soap while having dinner. They also charged their mobile phones, laptops and other equipment. The Maoists spoke in Kannada, Hindi and other languages. They then vanished into the jungle after having dinner and recharging their gadgets, sources stated.
After gathering news about the development, the ANF launched a search operation in the region and also in the forests of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Chikkamagaluru districts.
