Bhubaneswar: The Maoists in Odisha, who have abducted Biju Janata Dal (BJD) MLA Jhina Hikaka, released a fresh audio tape on Saturday demanding the release of five more Naxals from jail, issuing a fresh deadline till April 10.
The Maoists have now demanded the release of top cadre Chenda Bhushanam alias Ghasi, who carried a reward of Rs 10 lakh on his head.
Ghasi, a dreaded Maoist, was arrested by the security forces in 2011.
Four other CMAS members whose release has been demanded by the Maoists are Gananath Patra, Suna Pangi, Singa Nachika and Walsi Wadeka.
The Maoist group has said, "We reject government's offer of releasing only 27 Naxals. Our demand is that the government should release five more people by April 10. After April 10, we will release Jhina Hikaka."
