Bhubaneswar: A woman claiming to be the
wife of a most wanted top ranking Maoist leader was arrested
and several documents were seized from her here today, police

the outskirts of the city, police and anti-naxal Special
Operation Group (SOG) conducted a joint raid and arrested the
woman, identified as Saswati alias Mili.
A large number of documents, leaflets, Maoist literature
and a laptop were seized from the woman, who was whisked away
