Kathmandu: Unconfirmed reports say security forces have taken into custody Aditya, chief of Kathmandu special district unit of the CPN (Maoist), last week.

According to reports, security personnel took into custody Aditya, and his colleague, Bimal, from Bhaktapur three days ago. CPN (Maoist) is yet to confirm the incident.

In the meantime, one leading Nepali language daily reported that Rs 800,000 was also recovered from Aditya when he was arrested. Maoist sources have said Aditya was “out of contact” since Thursday last week. Unconfirmed reports last week also indicated that all three commanders from three cities in the valley have been arrested.
