Maoists have released five Armed Police Force (APF) officials whom they had abducted from Badraghat, Nawalparasi district, on Sunday.

Organising a public function at Bhumai Bazaar Thursday afternoon, the Maoists released the five APF men – Sub-Inspector Krishna Bahadur Kunwar, head constable Krishna Rijal, constables Nawaraj Shrestha, Dharma Raj Jaisi and Bharat Thapa – who were deployed in the area with weapons ahead of the visit of APF Additional Inspector General (AIG) Raviraj Thapa, who was arriving there to attend a police convocation ceremony at APF’s training school at Bardaghat.

They were released in the presence of human rights activists and journalists, reports said.
