A newspaper article in the Indian bourgeois press reports the
police detention of several university students from two universities in
Hyderabad (the capital of the federal state of Telangana) in the
Maradumilli area of Andhra Pradesh, more than 400 kilometers away. The
students were detained and later released following their visit to the
area where a firefight reportedly took place a month ago between
reactionary paramilitary forces and Maoist revolutionaries. The young
students also protested an anti-Maoist sit-in organized by Hindutva
fascists who support Prime Minister Modi's reactionary and fascist
Hindutva government. In recent months, a solidarity movement has been
developing in India among students, lawyers, intellectuals, and
progressive sectors, in support of the Communist Party of India (Maoist)
and against the genocidal military operation Kagaar against the
revolutionary movement and the Adivasi tribal populations.
From the HansIndia english daily:
Students grilled after visit to Maoist encounter site
Created On: 7 Dec 2025
Police examined eight students from OU and UoH after they visited
the Maredumilli encounter site but allowed them to leave Maredumilli
(ASR district): Around eight students from prominent institutions,
including Osmania University and the University of Hyderabad, were
questioned by the police after they visited a Maoist encounter site in
Alluri Sitaramaraju district, an official said on Saturday.
All of them were later allowed to leave, he added. Under 'Operation
Sambhav', police gunned down 13 Maoists over two days — six on November
18 and seven on November 19 — in Maredumilli mandal of Alluri
Sitaramaraju district.
Students were not detained. They were examined to prevent any
further law-and-order issues," Alluri Sitaramaraju district
superintendent of police (SP) Amit Bardar told PTI, adding that the
students, who had visited the site on Friday, cooperated with police.
However, he said the students refused to share the contact details
of their family members, which the police sought to inform them of the
students' safety, especially at a time of increased Maoist activity
along the Odisha border.
“We have information that there is heavy movement on the Odisha
border now. Some trespassing has occurred from Chhattisgarh into
Odisha,” Bardar said.
He noted that an altercation had broken out between the students and protesters campaigning against Maoism.
According to the SP, several protests and rallies have been held in
recent days by families of victims of Maoist violence and
pro-development groups.
A large rally was organised on November 20 at Annavaram to protest
against Naxalism and Maoist activities, particularly by residents
opposed to “foreign elements entering their areas," he said.
Following these protests, Bardar added, campaigners have submitted
representations seeking the construction of roads, hospitals and other
basic infrastructure.(PTI)
