During interrogation, the police said, the arrested Maoist commander revealed that the attack on the Central Reserve Police Force was planned only after the rebels found a wireless set a patrol party of the paramilitary force had lost a couple of days earlier.

Dantewada Superintendent of Police Amresh Mishra said the interrogation would continue on Tuesday so that they could get more information on the Maoist attack — considered the most brutal in the entire country till date.
