Responding to the appeal of Orissa government and others, suspected Maoist abductors of Malkangiri Collector R Vineel Krishna have extended the deadline fixed by them for fulfillment of their demands.
A senior member of Andhra-Orissa Border Zonal Committee (AOBZC) of Maoists informed a section of media in Bhubaneswar on Friday about their decision of extending the deadline.
"Secretary of AOBZC, Bhaskar, has suggested to PLGA (People's Liberation Guerrilla Army) to extend the deadline as the state government has agreed to have talks on the demands of the party," Maoist ideologue VV Rao told PTI.
"I cannot say for how long, but I am sure that they have extended the deadline," he said, adding that everything would now depend on the outcome of the negotiations.
NDTV has learnt that there may be talks with the Maoists through mediators as early as Sunday (February 20) to negotiate the release of Krishna and junior engineer Pavitra Majhi.
Krishna and Majhi were abducted from Malkangiri district on Wednesday evening by the Maoists who then set a 48-hour deadline for fulfillment of their demands of halting the combing operations in the area and release of tribal rebels lodged currently in jail.
