The fact that Maoists were recruiting displaced labourers into their fold came to light with the arrest of L.S.N. Murthi, alias Krishna Rao who had been living in Delhi for seven years.

The Maoists reportedly have sympathisers among trade unions in Okhla Industrial Area and a person named Sudhir heads it.

“We picked them for questioning earlier and arrested him on Tuesday,” said a senior police officer.
