They said constable Rakeshwar Singh Manhas of the 210th Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) was freed by the Maoists this evening after a team of few eminent people, including a person from the tribal community, was nominated by the state government to secure his release.

An unverified picture shared by security officials showed Manhas wearing his green coloured jungle combat dress and standing with at least four “mediators” with a number of locals sitting in the forested background.

Another picture showed the commando riding pillion on a motorbike with a local journalist while an another photo showed a scribe clicking selfie with him.

One of the eminent persons instrumental in the release was identified by security agencies as social worker Dharampal Saini.

The jawan has been handed over to CRPF”s Deputy Inspector General (Bijapur) Komal Singh at the Basaguda camp in Bijapur and his medical checkup is underway, sources in the paramilitary force said.

They said the jawan will be kept at a camp and will soon be put through a “debriefing” session to understand the circumstances as to how he was taken away by the Maoists and what happened with him during the custody.
